[JFKI-News] Invitation to a talk / June 22

[History-ZI JfKi <history@jfki.fu-berlin.de>]

Dear members and friends of the JFKI, dear students,

 

We cordially invite you to a talk by Amy C. Beal (University of California, Santa Cruz) on

“New Music, New (Old) Allies: American Music in Postwar and Cold War West Germany Thoughts on Research.”

 

The event will take place as a part of the MA colloquium of the History Department

online via Webex on June 22, 2020, 6.15 pm-7.15 pm.

 

Drawing on extensive research for her book New Music, New Allies: American Experimental Music in West Germany from the Zero Hour to Reunification (2006), musicologist Amy C. Beal reflects on the history of transatlantic relationships between the two countries, and speculates about where that legacy has brought the networks of contemporary music performance in the early twenty-first century. Highlights of this history include the seminal role of German public radio stations as tools of dissemination for non-commercial and non-academic American music.

 

Since the amount of spots is limited, please, register at yulia.maximenkova@fu-berlin.de.
