It took place from 6 to 7 October 2017 at the mdw – University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna and was organized in cooperation with the European Music School Union (EMU) and the Conference of Austrian Music School Associations (KOMU). More than 150 researchers, experts and practitioners from twenty-five countries participated in this event. As keynote speakers the University invited Anne Bamford (England), Heidi Westerlund and Lauri Väkevä (Finland), and Susanne Keuchel (Germany). Researchers from twenty European countries presented research findings and case studies concerning issues such as equal access, social impact, diversity and specialization, collaborations with schools, and the professional profile of teachers. A final panel about future aims of music school research started with a presentation by Herbert Altrichter (Vienna). Therese Kaufman hosted the panel with Helena Maffli and Timo Klemettinen (EMU), Lauri Väkevä (Sibelius Academy Helsinki), Franz-Otto Hofecker (mdw), and Michaela Hahn (mdw and KOMU). The dialogue between researchers and practitioners as one central aim of the Symposium was supported by different formats during the event. The contributions of EMU were posters from several European countries about their music school systems and about the EMU Statistics, which had been published shortly before. The Austrian Music School Association organized a concert on the first evening which gave a glimpse of the inspiring work done by Austrian Music Schools. This post-symposium publication refers to the First European Music School Symposium, which took place from October 6-7, 2017 at mdw – University of Music and Performing Arts, Vienna. Cooperating partners for the symposium were European Music School Association (EMU) and the Austrian Conference of Music School Associations (KOMU). 8 INTRODUCTION / music school RESEARCH II INTRODUCTION MICHAELA HAHN / FRANZ-OTTO HOFECKER Music education in Europe reflects the colorful diversity and rich tradition of our continent´s cultural identities. The inherent character of music education is rooted in its unique position within culture and education. This specific characteristic becomes apparent in the professional training of music educators, in the music education syllabi and curricula, and in the self- conception of music teachers and their pupils. The organizational structure of sound music education requires therefore partnership of teachers, artists and communities. Music schools in Europe are institutions specially devoted to music education and chiefly geared towards the practices of music-making, as they offer tuition in different instruments and voice, sometimes also dance and drama. Although the term “music school” is common in nearly all European countries, there is no universal agreement on the tasks a music school has to fulfil and the objectives it aims to meet. In many countries they developed from local and regional cultural associations to secure the next generations of musicians for the community. Some countries have developed parallel education structures for music schools, in other countries they are partially implemented in the general education system. In many European countries music schools founded national associations to advance their own development and shoulder different tasks. Advocacy and quality management are the most common, including measures such as continuing professional education for music school teachers, national competitions, youth orchestras, and many more besides. In 1973 these national associations established a European umbrella organization named EMU, European Music School Union. The common ground is the term “music school”, though the underlying institutions and concepts are diverse. The precise position of music schools within their national education and culture systems defines the aims and tasks of the respective music school system. This leads to a diverse and multifaceted music school scene in European countries, where a mutual language has to be developed for analyzing and discussing research findings. 9 music school RESEARCH II / INTRODUCTION This volume has set itself the task of providing a first glimpse of the diverse music school research in European countries. Whereas comparative research in education is well established, it has yet to be done for music schools. With the new format of the European Music School Symposium at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna in cooperation with the European Music School Union and the Conference of Austrian Music School Associations (KOMU) this scientific discourse has now started. The 2017 symposium brought more than 150 researchers and practitioners from twenty-five European countries together. Including a keynote and presentations from this symposium this publication offers contributions from twenty-nine researchers from thirteen European countries and paints a multicolored picture of music schools in Europe. _ With the question, “How music schools justify themselves: Meeting the social challenges of the twenty-first century” the article by Heidi Westerlund, Lauri Väkevä, and Leena Ilmola-Sheppard is a fitting starting point for this publication. The authors argue that in our changing societies music schools also need to take ethical responsibility. After describing the Finnish framework for music school education, Basic Education in the Arts, they present two cases, Resonaari and Floora from Finland, using a systems view as a theoretical

  • Town Trail – Secession Ljubljana
    Town Trail – Secession Ljubljana ART NOUVEAU – ART RENOUVEAU 2014–2017 Walk around Art Nouveau Ljubljana, observe buildings typical of this period and answer the questions. You can start your path anywhere you like, but make sure to walk the whole path and collect as many correct answers as possible. Estimated time of the task is 90 minutes. A SECESSION LJUBLJANA The term »Secession« in Slovenia is used following the example ! of the Vienna Secession (in other European countries the terms Art Nouveau, Jugendstil, Modern Style, Liberty, etc. are also used as a name for this period), because in the Art Nouveau period, the Slovenian territory was a part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and numerous Slovenian artists and architects studied in Vienna. The term » Ljubljana Secession « is a name for the neighbourhood between the old city centre and the main railway station. This neighbourhood was mostly rebuilt between the years of 1895 and 1910. It includes many important and well preserved architectural masterpieces. Secession Ljubljana is one of the most recognisable parts of the city and that part of our cultural heritage which put Ljubljana alongside the biggest Art Nouveau capital cities, such as Brussels, Vienna, Paris, Barcelona. On Easter, 14th of April 1895 at 11.17pm CET time, Ljubljana, with ! its 31,000 citizens and 1,400 buildings, was shaken by a very strong earthquake (its aftershocks were existing all the way to Vienna in Austria, Split in Croatia and Florence in Italy). About 10% of the buildings had to be demolished and all the rest were in need of a restoration.

At a large lake in the marshes near the source of the Ljubljanica they stopped and disassembled their ship to be able to carry it to the Adriatic Sea, put it together again, and return to Greece. The lake was the dwelling place of a monster, which Jason fought, defeated and killed. The monster, now referred to as the Ljubljana Dragon, found its place atop the castle tower depicted on the Ljubljana coat of arms.

  • Dalmatia – a Rough Guide to the Tour
    Dalmatia Delights A Rough Guide to the Tour 2 Dalmatia Delights Preface This guide (entirely and unashamedly lifted from other sources, mostly cited) tries to follow the Dalmatian Delights itinerary for the Ferris Wheels tour. Its purpose is to present in one place some highlights of the tour; and, hopefully, save participants from buying several guide books, although there is at least one book (Western Balkans, Lonely Planet) that covers a lot but not all of the itinerary. First, a little introduction to Dalmatia. As I noted on my Dalmatia page, the term is a loose way of referring, partly to Dalmacija, a region in Croatia, but then, loosely, to surrounding regions spanning coast, hinterland and mountains in parts of Slovenia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro and, for good measure, the Passo di Stelvio in the Italian Dolomites. So don’t get too hung up on the name. More strictly speaking, Dalmatia (Croatian: Dalmacija), is an historical region on the eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea and is situated in Croatia. It spreads between the island of Rab in the northwest and the Bay of Kotor, in Montenegro, in the southeast. The hinterland, the Dalmatian Zagora, ranges from fifty kilometers in width in the north to just a few kilometers in the south. The Dalmatian dog gets its name from Dalmatia. In antiquity the Roman province of Dalmatia was much larger than the present-day region, stretching from Istria to historical Albania. Dalmatia signified not only a geographical unit, but it was an entity based on common culture and settlement types. Secondly, Dalmatia came before the dog! The dog got its name from its association with Dalmatia.

  • LA Philharmonic: Dudamel Conducts Mahler 4
    Visions and Voices and the USC Libraries have collaborated to create a series of resource guides that allow you to build on your experiences at many Visions and Voices events. Explore the resources listed below and continue your journey of inquiry and discovery! L.A. PHILHARMONIC: DUDAMEL CONDUCTS MAHLER 4 USC LIBRARIES RESOURCE GUIDE The unique sound of flutes and sleigh bells make the beginning of Gustav Mahler’s Fourth Symphony unforgettable. The dynamic and distinguished Gustavo Dudamel will conduct the L.A. Philharmonic as they perform the last part of Mahler’s “Wunderhorn” symphonies. Built around a single song, “Das Himmlische Leben,” Mahler’s Fourth moves through the viewpoints of different characters and settings—a skeleton playing a death dance on a fiddle, a somber processional march and a child’s vision of Heaven—making for a concert performance that will amaze audiences. STEPHANIE BONJACK of the USC LIBRARIES has selected the following resources to help you learn more about Dudamel, Mahler, and the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Disney Hall Designed by architect Frank Gehry, the Walt Disney Concert Hall provides audiences a unique visual and listening experience. The 2,265-seat auditorium, which was designed to look like a ship’s hull, organizes the audience around the orchestra, lending a sense of intimacy even with those seated furthest away from the stage. The acoustics of the hall are sure to impress. The L.A. Philharmonic The Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra is one of the premiere performing ensembles in the world today. Its international renown is largely attributed to its tenth music director, Esa-Pekka Salonen, who conducted the ensemble from 1992 to 2009.
