Which misunderstandings and cases of cultural appropriation can be found in "Western" classical music? To what extent was this history influenced by a continuous succession of waves of migration(s)? In addition to an artistic programme presenting new works by, inter alia, the Trickster Orchestra, the symposium will discuss questions surrounding post-coloniality, looted music, and the trans-traditional compositional practice of today.
The symposium was organised by the Goethe Institut and curated in cooperation with Elisa Erkelenz. It will conclude with the "Outernational Listening Session: Sounding Changes", framed by the two concerts Disturbing the Universal / DIY.
The symposium will be held in English and live for an audience at radialsystem, and will also be streamed and transmitted digitally.
