In the morning lectures, students will become acquainted with the main areas in which Roma participated in the creation of distinctive music styles, this year, with a specific focus on the music of Central European Roma and Roma from the Balkans (including a transnational perspective). Moreover, we will discuss methodological and representational considerations, connected with research of and with Romani musicians. These discussions will reveal more general features of minorities’ music(s). Film screenings and workshop with Romani musicians will be held in the afternoons.

A five-day seminar for students at all levels on how to listen to the sounds (not only) of nature, how to understand them, how to build a relationship with our environment—and perhaps even how to make music with the sounds and structures of the natural world. We will review the music and writings of others who have worked in this way, and go out in the field listening with our ears, and our technologies, then return to the classroom and studio to work in our own diverse ways, culminating in an informal performance for the group and for the public.
The course will be taught by prof. Zuzana Jurková, and Dr. Oldřich Poděbradský, FHS UK.
