Project at HIAS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cultural Hybridity in Global Art-Song: History, Meanings and Repertoire<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At HIAS, Natasha Loges will explore 20th-century piano-accompanied art-song from Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, and East\/South-East Asia. Through case studies of composers such as Sun-Ae Kim, Akin Euba, and Nazife G\u00fcran, her project explores cultural hybridity in post\/colonial musical contexts. Drawing on archival research and performance-based insights, the project aims to expand definitions of art-song and contribute to a more inclusive understanding of classical music\u2019s global reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her Tandem Partners are Louis Delpech, Professor for Music at the Hochschule f\u00fcr Musik und Theater Hamburg, and Oliver Huck, Professor for Historical Musicology at the University of Hamburg.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
