Workshop Choral Societies and Nationalist Mobilizatio in Nineteenth-Century Europe

Summary/Abstract: The workshop Choral Societies and Nationalist Mobilization in Nineteenth-Century Europe is part of a large international project which was organized by NISE (Study Platform on Interlocking Nationalisms, Amsterdam) and SPIN (National movements & Intermediary Structures in Europe, Antwerp). It was held in the Royal Conservatoire of Antwerp, Belgium (17-19 February 2011) with the collaboration of ADVN (Archief en Documentatiecentrum voor het Vlaams-nationalisme), Koor & Stem, History Department at the University of Antwerp and University of Amsterdam. The review observes the work and conclusions of the event. Invited speakers from all over Europe (historians and musicologists) analyzed the phenomenon of choral music and its correlations with the national movements. This is the first complex comparative research of this kind and the topic is essential for understanding the historical processes in the 19th Century Europe. The program was focused on simultaneously on going tendencies in choral practices, regional models and their interactions. The debates were about common features across Europe, but also about the cultural specifics in different countries and regions from Norway to Serbia and Bulgaria as well as from Scotland to Estonia.
