From Manuscript to Sound: Colonial Dynamics in Peruvian Musical Manuscript Culture (17th–19th Centuries)

Workshop and Concert

9:30 am – 4:00 pm: Workshop (Venue: Warburgstraße 26, 20354 Hamburg)

‘Peripheries’ are and were fertile grounds for negotiation. In the Peruvian case, far removed from the Spanish centre of power, enforcement oscillated between extremes of harshness and laxity, often giving rise to ambiguity and contradictions. Musical practices, insofar as they were inextricable from social and political life, became both an instrument of power and an arena for such negotiations. This workshop is planned in conjunction with a concert to provide an interdisciplinary and multi-modal framework for reflection on the meanings of music manuscripts and music archives in a colonial and postcolonial context.

With the participation of Magally Alegre, Aurelio Tello, Julio Mendívil, Daniel Kudó, and Isolde Kittel-Zerer, and moderation by Markus Friedrich, and Matteo Nanni.

7:00 pm: Concert (Venue: Katholische Kirche St. Ansgar und Bernhard - "Kleiner Michel", Michaelisstraße 5, 20459 Hamburg)

A collaboration between the Cluster of Excellence ‘Understanding Written Artefacts’ (CSMC) and the Hochschule für Musik und Theater Hamburg.
