Nordic Network for Early Opera and Nordic Network for Vocal Performance Research, in collaboration with Scuola di Music Antica Venezia, are delighted to invite you for a research seminar in Venice 15 June around the theme of vocality, music drama and the vibrant intellectual / artistic scene in Venice around Monteverdi and Accademia degli Incogniti. The idea comes from a desire to offer a fringe-event / sub-encounter / prologue for (among others) participants of the two symposia co-happening in Venice 16-17 June: The Foundazione Cini conference on Monteverdi (16-17 June http://www.cini.it/en/events/international-conference-monteverdis-venetian-operas-new-ideas-for-interpretation-and-mise-en-scene) and the symposia "Encounters, Discussions, Experimentations: Art, Research and Artistic Research in Music”, the Research Pavilion of the University of the Arts Helsinki, Venice Biennale 2017 (16-17 June http://www.researchpavilion.fi).

Invited presenters have been asked to meditate on a set of specific entries as suggested in the program below, each one departing from their specific musicological/artistic research in relation to the music of Claudio Monteverdi and the contemporary artistic context in mid-seventeenth century Venice. (This research seminar is curated based on methodologies /theories on intra-action and assemblage.)

Time:
15 June 2017

15:00-18:30

Venue:
Palazzo Grimani, Ruga Giuffa, off Campo Santa Maria Formosa, Venezia,
