CLASSICAL MUSIC: INDUSTRY AND SOCIAL CONTEXTS

Code: MUSI543

Credits: 15

Semester: Semester 2

This module will follow the first semester module on ‘Managing Music Making’ and will look in greater depth at the many different activities and challenges encountered by people working in the classical music sector. This module will broaden out from the guest speakers of the first semester module and will look at other parts of the classical music industry beyond the symphony orchestra, such as recording and broadcasting, composition and publishing, soloists and agents, and small ensemble and vocal music. Throughout this module, students will consider how the traditions and cultural context of classical music shape the industry, with discussion of concepts such as the canon, performance practice, and amateur and professional music-making.
