I then went to conferences more fre- quently. […]

Then I began to talk with colleagues from outside Europe. Later in one of these contexts, someone pointed out to me that the term “folk music”, as ap- plied to their music, the and Japan and so on, was inappropri- ate, because it was not “folk music”, but it was just as much an “art music”, “high art”, and so on. And I said, well yes. That put the idea of a change of name into my mind, but it took years to get it through.

SECB: So when did the idea crop up in your mind initially? With Noriko Aikawa, former Director of the Intangible Cultural Heritage Section DC: It must have been around 1970 or of UNESCO, during the 1st Symposium on Traditional Polyphony (Tbilisi, 1971.

[…] Out of that then came from UNESCO’s side an encour- agement to represent IFMC in UNESCO. But before it came to that point, I was elected to the Board of the IFMC.

Erich Stockmann was elected [Presi- dent] a little later [in 1982]. We were good friends and I talked with him a lot across the borders of the German Democratic Republic. He acted for the East German Academy of Sciences and he had seen to it way back that certain holdings that were originally in the Berlin Phonogrammarchiv were in a way rescued and put into the East German Academy of Sciences for safe- guarding. So we talked about getting With Velika Stojkova Serafimovska during the 1st Symposium of the ICTM Study these things back to West Berlin, which Group on Music and Dance of Southeastern Europe.

I came in close touch with her in the course of preparing the [Edinburgh] conference because she was an important member of the committee. As you can find in the files, there were a number of times when we were in disagreement. But the question of the name and the appropri- ateness of “folk music” as a term desig- nating the enterprise had been on my mind for a while. This should be in the files also.

We had a meeting of the executive committee of the IFMC at some point. […] I brought up this particular topic and there was some astonishment and resistance among the Executive Board Doing fieldwork.

New deals were struck with hotels in Astana to provide special offers and discounts for conference delegates, es- pecially after the value of the rouble suffered a strong decline in the last few months. If you have not yet booked your accommodation, please do so from one of the hotels shown on this page. For the first time in ICTM history, special booths will be dedicated to Study Groups at the Conference’s Exhibit Room, so that they can pre- sent their activities and publications, including those by individual Study Group members. Conference volunteers will assist with the displaying, exchang- ing, and selling of all materials.

Former colleagues, companions, and friends of Bröcker shaped the keynote and the first session of presentations. In the beginning of his keynote Jörgen Torp explored the significant role of ethnochoreology and international eth- nochoreologists in the foundation of the International Folk Music Council, the predecessor of ICTM, followed by an examination of the relationship of mu- sic and dance, by discussing different forms of expression of musical move- ments, the meanings of movements within music, as well as relationships of dance or dance music with movement.
