Elsbeth Berg, Levande Musik

Hans Davidsson, Göteborgs internationella orgelakademi

Mats Lindström, Elektronmusikstudion
Michael Eriksson, Chalmers
Peter Christensson, Chalmers

Temat ansluter till det övergripande temat för Göteborgs internationella orgelfestival 2019: "Orgeln som mekaniskt musikaliskt underverk”.

Samtidigt diskuterar vi i olika nätverk möjligheter till en musikhall för nutida konstmusik, placering av den tidigare konserthusorgeln från Konserthuset (Marcussen 1937) tillsammans med EMS högtalaranläggning och elektronisk signalutrustning, kanske i samma sal, och på Chalmers introduceras ett nytt gränsöverskridande spår inom utbildningen: Music engineering.

Hur kan orgelkonsten och ingenjörskonsten korsbefrukta varandra på bästa sätt?

Hur skapar vi nya klangvärldar, ny orgelkonst och t ex hyperorglar genom tvärdisciplinär samverkan?

NB! The lectures are held in English

10:00-12:30 CONCERT HALL, Neeme Järvi Hall, use the entrance at Viktor Rydbergsgatan 4 (Admission free)
