10+1 Music Talks
Conversations on Modal Music today

The 10+1 Music Talks explore the work of leading musicians and music scholars engaged in the broad field of Modal Music today. Rather than following a single unifying theme, each speaker is free to introduce the topic that drives and inspires their work—whether in composition, performance, musical and cultural analysis, historical and ethnographic research, music technology, communities and transnational cultural flows. These talks serve as a basis for discussion, fostering an open exchange of ideas and perspectives. They present a diverse range of music experiences and research, showcasing the rich and multidimensional mosaic that characterizes Modal Music today.

All talks start on Monday’s 18:00 CET (19:00 Greek Time);  you can register by filling the form at the bottom of the page; for each talk every month you will need to sign a new form. (https://forms.gle/wKsPvuduaRChgEse8)
