Summer School - Music and Intangible Heritage – Leadership in Contemporary Creative and Curatorial Practice, 2022, Hungary

Publish Date: May 01, 2022

Deadline: May 15, 2022

Event Dates: from Jun 27, 2022 12:00 to Jul 04, 2022 12:00

After three successful editions (offline and online), we continue our summer course focusing on music as intangible heritage from theoretical, professional and practical aspects. In 2022 we will concentrate on cultural leadership, curatorial practices, public outreach, and the connection between heritage and audience building – major points of discussion within the cultural sector and the creative industries in recent times.
The course will introduce the framework (theoretical, practical and research-related concepts and resources) which are required to successfully complete participatory projects as leaders in musical cultural heritage. The course will also provide an insight into the ethnographic, geographic, political, economic, and production aspects of music curation. We aim to present a contemporary and viable approach to responsible musical heritage management. As an inherent topic, we will examine the role and forms of music in social engagement and public outreach, and we will study the connection between heritage and audience building. The course will also tackle storytelling and conceptualization, which play an increasing role in the presentation of cultural heritage in the field and context of both tangible and intangible heritage. 
Lectures and case study analysis will focus on current projects and practical examples of contemporary leadership. Best practices will be presented by representatives of leading cultural institutions (Barbican Centre, Lincoln Center, MÜPA, De Doelen, Wiener Konzerthaus, etc.).
We will continue our highly successful project development program: participants will be assisted by tutors in preparing a short presentation on a chosen subject relating to leadership and curatorial practices during the course.
We will continue to work with SOAS as project partner. The collaborative project and the involvement of SOAS faculty members will enrich the intangible heritage management aspects of the course with the experiences and research areas of academic musical and ethnomusicological education. The course relies greatly on both CEU lecturers and SOAS faculty members, as well as representatives of leading cultural institutions and organizations. 
The complex heritage aspects of the course will be presented in the format of lectures, seminar discussions, workshops, library research, field trip and site visits in relevant institutions (MÜPA Budapest, Liszt Academy of Music, House of Hungarian Music).
