Symposium: Tools and Treasures: Perspectives on Early Musical Instruments of the Academic Orchestra
Advertisement
Since 1745, Lund University has maintained its own orchestra – Akademiska kapellet (Lund University Academic Orchestra) – in which students perform under professional direction. In connection with a new exhibition at Lund University's Historical Museum, featuring a selection of the orchestra's historic instruments, the Odeum Music Centre is organising an international symposium dedicated to this remarkable collection.
The symposium will cover the following topics:
- The instrument collection of Lund University Academic Orchestra: overview and contexts / Tobias Lund (Odeum, Lund University)
- The lives of the historical instruments of Lund University Academic Orchestra as museum objects in Stockholm / Madeleine Modin (Centre for Swedish Folk Music and Jazz Research, Stockholm)
- The Lund chalumeaux: an exceptional global resource / Ingrid E. Pearson (Senior Academic Tutor, Royal College of Music, London)
- Richard Haka’s double-reed instruments: exploring instrumental combinations in the Dutch Republic, 1677–1725 / Luís Tasso Athayde Santos (historical bassoonist, oboist, recorderist and scholar in Malmö/Amsterdam)
- An eighteenth-century banana flute / Bert Junno (Gabather, Södertälje)
- From bass to sixth flute: recorders in the Lund collection / Emelie Roos (recorderist, Höör Barock and Malmö Academy of Music)
- Horns and horn players in the Lund University Academic Orchestra during the second half of the eighteenth century / Eric Wahlsteen (Department of Biology, Lund University)
- Extant musical instruments as evidence of the importance of Danzig (Gdańsk) for musical life in seventeenth- to nineteenth-century Scandinavia / Benjamin Vogel (Professor emeritus, University of Szczecin, Poland)
- A Danish ‘Bachbow’ from the mid-twentieth century: violinist and patent analyst Tobias Junno in conversation with Tobias Lund / Tobias Junno (Ericsson, Lund) and Tobias Lund
- Concluding remarks: Marie Martens (Curator, The Danish Music Museum, Copenhagen)
