Greek Music and Texts

29-06-2013 - 30-06-2013

A Colloquium entitled 'Greek Music and Texts' will be held in Oxford on Saturday 29 June in the Classics Centre, St Giles from 9.15 am to 3.30 pm. The timetable is now finalised as below. This is envisaged as a preliminary event to lay the groundwork for a larger conference to be held in Oxford in June 2014. 

The Colloquium aims to bring together scholars for an initial consideration of ways in which Greek music can be shown to have interacted with Greek poetic texts to create integrated musico-literary products. There will be six 20-minute papers, with 10 mins for questions after each paper, from 9.30-12.30 pm, followed by a plenary discussion after lunch, 2-3.30 pm. 

The Colloquium is open to all who wish to attend, but please would you indicate your intention to do so by emailing us at armand.dangour@jesus.ox.ac.uk
