Conference “… Hay que caminar …” Luigi Nono’s musical paths between politics and art (1)

During a two day conference in collaboration with the University of Amsterdam a host of international speakers will discuss the many aspects of Nono’s life and work.

The subjects of these discussions will include the role of Nono’s political views in his music, his use of new musical techniques, his employment of electronics, the role of silence in his work and his visits to the Netherlands. Both days are open to the public. The first day has a more scientific focus whereas day two will deal with the subject matter in more general terms.
