7th Sibelius Academy Symposium on Music History
Time and place: 5–7 June 2024, University of the Arts Helsinki, Helsinki Music Centre
Organisers: University of the Arts Helsinki History Forum and Sibelius Academy
The 7th Sibelius Academy Symposium on Music History provides the opportunity for music-history scholars all over the world to interrogate issues around finance, commodity and the music industry in the history of music from antiquity to the present and in all parts of the globe.
The financial condition of music has been recognised for as long as there have been studies of patronage in the music of the early-modern period or for as long as ‘opera’ has been regarded as both ‘an art and a business’. And while the domains of music publishing and the press have long been regarded as financially contingent, the 7th Sibelius Academy Symposium on Music History seeks to expand these concerns to include all types of agency related to music, commodity and finance across the globe, and all types of exchange: monetary, in-kind and reciprocal gifting.
The following (non-exhaustive) list opens up some questions that the symposium looks to explore:
• Cultural history of music and economy
• Musical celebrity
• Patronage and music
• Promotion and self-promotion of musicians
• Music publishing, engraving and other forms of dissemination
• Music institutions and their financial underpinnings
• Economic impact on the aesthetics of music
• Music as commodity
• Media and music
• Connections of the music market to other economic networks
• Musical societies
• Music collecting
• The trade in music autographs and related material
• The concept of the music industry
Keynote speakers of the symposium are:
Kyle Barnett (Bellarmine University, US)
Gundula Kreuzer (Yale University, US)
