Musica Judaica

Description

Musica Judaica brings together scholars, performers and cantors for a two-day invitational conference to investigate the interdependence, interference and interconnectivity of oral and written traditions within Jewish Music in European Ashkenazic cultures from the early 19th century until the Shoah. The conference takes into account the late medieval and early modern pre-history of the period as well as its contemporary non-Jewish cultural contexts. Presentations explore wider theoretical questions reflecting on problematic terms such as “classical”, the artificial division between sacred and secular, and the use of music as source for writing Jewish history.
