Conference Announcement:

Bearbeitung als Original. Funktionen und Ästhetik der Transkription um 1900

Together with the Karlsruhe University of Music, we will host the conference "Bearbeitung als Original. Funktionen und Ästhetik der Transkription um 1900" from October 18-20, 2024. For Max Reger, adaptations played a significant role, among other things, to "modernize" old music. His contemporary and occasional pen pal Ferruccio Busoni, whose 100th death anniversary is being commemorated this year, shared this passion.

As part of the conference, there will be two concerts: on October 18th with the Karlsruhe Ensemble Mikado featuring oboist Petar Hristov; and on October 19th with Prof. Sontraud Speidel and Florian Kleinertz from the Karlsruhe University of Music, as well as the piano duo Prof. Rinko Hama and Prof. Ruben Meliksetian, both former graduates of the Karlsruhe University of Music.
