30th & 31st October, University of Aberdeen
Conference
This interdisciplinary conference on Musical Modernity, the Beautiful and the Sublime, hosted by Sound and the University of Aberdeen, will bring together a range of scholars to consider the status of the beautiful and the sublime in contemporary Western art music. Beginning either from the musical repertoire or from philosophical theory, they will explore music that embodies conventional and innovative concepts of the beautiful and the sublime, drawing on the work of a range of key thinkers.
