The Musical Avant-garde in Rome in the 1960s: Actors and Networks in Music History

Project description

How Rome impacted the history of music in 20th-century Europe

Rome’s vibrant avant-garde networks during the 1960s show how art music creation was a phenomenon that involved both human and nonhuman actors such as institutions and ideas. These networks consisted of many artists with different national and cultural perspectives, and interlinked institutions. There was a fusion of various genres to create original repertoires. The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) ROMAVANTGARDE project will shed light on the history of 20th-century music and demonstrate that Rome actively participated in developing Europe’s musical landscape. To do so, it will perform research in libraries and archives situated in Rome and gather testimonies from eyewitness accounts.
