SYRIAB – Transcultural Music Session
On February 11 from 18:45 at "Mascha"
The SYRIAB ensemble, founded in 2009 by kanun player Ibrahim Bajo, was a Syrian orchestra that played various styles of Arabic music. Due to the war in Syria, the once 40 musicians are now spread all over the world. In Germany, SYRIAB has reunited in a smaller constellation and is now discovering Arabic and Mediterranean music with its innovative instrumentation of kanun, oud, nay, percussion, accordion, clarinet and oboe. The music is characterized by its own sound language and breaks new ground, also through cooperation with other artists, orchestras, ensembles and choirs. The musicians also give workshops. It is important to them to draw attention to the diversity of music and to promote transcultural music-making.
"...a break from everyday life with musicians who, when playing together, make you forget how different their backgrounds are. The rhythms, the melodies, their playing inspires for more."
Thüringer Landeszeitung
The SYRIAB is coming to Weimar on Sunday, February 11 from 18.45 at the "Mascha" cultural center (Schützengasse 2). Admission is free.
Schedule: Introductory workshop 18.45-19.15, concert 19.30-21.00, jam session with students from 21.00.
An event of the UNESCO Chair on Transcultural Music Studies at the Franz Liszt University of Music Weimar. With the kind support of the Erasmus+ program of the International Office and Miteinander durch Musik e.V.

Musik als lebendiges Erbe - Traditionelle afghanische Musik im Exil
27.10. um 20 Uhr im Mon Ami
Am 27. Oktober veranstaltet der UNESCO-Lehrstuhl für Transcultural Music Studies und das International Office der HfM ein Konzert mit einem afghanischen Ensemble im Rahmen der Tagung "Lebendige Musizierpraxis als immaterielles Kulturerbe“. Da der reiche Schatz der Musik Afghanistans momentan bedroht ist, erhalten im Exil lebende Musiker:innen ihr afghanisches Kulturerbe weiterhin am Leben und bringen ihre Musik in europäischen Sälen zum Klingen. Sie zeigen auf, dass die afghanische Musik trotz der Einflüsse aus der persischen, indischen und zentralasiatischen Musikkultur auch ein eigenes Gepräge aufweist.
Die Tagung findet in Kooperation mit dem Deutschen Nationalkomitee im ICTM (International Council for Traditional Music) statt und mit dem Konzert wird passend zum Tagungs-Thema die lebendige Musizierpraxis Afghanistans im Exil gefeiert.

Vortrag in der Kronberg Academy
Mensch und Musik: eine notwendige Verbindung.
Zum geistigen Legat von Pablo Casals
Am Sonntag, den 24. September 2023 hielt Prof. Tiago de Oliveira Pinto einen Vortrag in der Kronberg Academy.
Das diesjährige Festival stand unter dem Motto „Zuerst Mensch“. Im Vortrag von Prof. Dr. Tiago de Oliveira Pinto war dieses Motto zugleich Ausgangspunkt für die Betrachtung der Rolle des weltberühmten Cellisten Pablo Casals als Musiker und Humanist. Mit seinem musikalischen Wirken hat Pablo Casals die Musik in den Mittelpunkt des Kulturerbes der Menschheit gestellt. Sein Musizieren, sein pädagogisches Wirken, vor allem aber seine humanistische Einstellung zur Musik haben ihm dazu verholfen, gesellschaftlichen und politischen Einfluss zu nehmen, der vor allem dem Frieden unter den Völkern dienen sollte.
Prof. Pintos Fazit des Vortrags: "Pablo Casals hat mit seinem Wirken und seinem Einfluss die Idee eines lebendigen und gesellschaftlich relevanten Musikerbes, im Sinne der UNESCO Kulrurerbekonvention von 2003, Jahrzehnte voraus bereits praktiziert.

DAAD Project Managers' Meeting in Costa Rica
After an intensive week of academic and cultural exchange, Prof. Tiago de Oliveira Pinto has returned from the DAAD Project Managers' Meeting in Costa Rica. There, he presented the university's research project "Circulating Knowledges" and delved into the content-related work of further international DAAD partnership programmes with regard to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The aim of "Circulating Knowledges" is to bring traditional musical knowledge from cultural workers from Brazil and Colombia to the partner universities so that they can pass it on there and bring it directly into the academic environment through workshops and discussion rounds.
Website-Launch Circulating Knowledges
The new website of the third-party funded project "Circulating Knowledges" is online. The DAAD-funded research project of the UNESCO Chair of Transcultural Music Studies has been running for three years and presents the exciting sub-projects and progress in Colombia and Brazil on the new website.
But it is not only here that capacity building and collaborative research are being worked on; the TMS research project "Afghanistan Music Research Centre" is also concerned with the mediation and networking of experts - and now there are new developments: the website has been updated and revised!

Musical polyphony and appropriation
Panel discussion with traditional music from Afghanistan
Two demands are currently being made of music institutions: on the one hand, they should reflect the cultural diversity of the present, and on the other hand, they should refrain from celebrating diversity, as this is often based on cultural appropriation. How can the globally diverse musical heritage be cultivated while taking power-sensitive approaches into account?

TROPICALISZT
Multimedia project at the Zeiss Planetarium Jena
TROPICALISZT is a cooperation project of the University of Music FRANZ LISZT Weimar and the Bauhaus University Weimar under the direction of Prof. Dr. Tiago de Oliveira Pinto (UNESCO Chair "Transcultural Music Studies") and Prof. Micky Remann (Immersive Media).

7:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m.
Zeiss Planetarium Jena
He was a piano virtuoso, composer and improviser from the tropics: Louis Moreau Gottschalk (1829–1869). Born in New Orleans, Gottschalk studied in Paris, where he met Georges Bizet and Camille Saint-Saëns, among others. Back in Louisiana, he embarked on a virtuoso pianistic career that took him across the country, to the Caribbean and to South America. This "tropical Liszt" travelled on special trains with two pianos, a piano tuner and his impresario. He was celebrated in salons, in theatres and princely houses, in open squares and on beach promenades. The parallels with the life of his contemporary Franz Liszt are unmistakable.
150 Years of the University of Music Weimar
This musical cosmopolitanism is to be honoured in the 150th anniversary year of the University of Music FRANZ LISZT Weimar with Tropicaliszt. To this end, students from the Departments of Piano and Musicology and media artists from the Bauhaus University Weimar will come together for a multimedia project in which music by Gottschalk and Liszt will be visualised in a 360-degree projection.

It would be a good reason to celebrate, but let's be patient in times of pandemic.
Since 2016, the professorship „Transcultural Music Studies“ (TMS) has been the first and so far only music-related UNESCO chair worldwide. The award has now been extended for another four years by the General Secretariat of UNESCO in Paris. Previously, the teaching and research activities of the UNESCO Chair were subjected to an independent review and positively evaluated.
There are only 13 UNESCO Chairs at German universities, one in Weimar and another in Jena.
