CHIME Workshop on Music Education in China,
Hamburg (Germany), 17-20 November 2016
2016年11月17-20日，汉堡大学孔子学院和该城市的其他教育机构将与“磬”（CHIME）一同发起“音乐教育在中国”的工作坊。此工作坊为期3天，参会者们需要贡献论文和表演。与往年一样，大部分参会者需自费或者申请自己的机构的资助。感兴趣的学者和音乐家可以联系Frank Kouwenhoven （chime＠wxs.nl）或者 Carsten Krause （carsten.krause＠konfuzius-institut-hamburg.de）来了解更多信息。
From 17 to 20 November 2016, the Confucius Institute at the University of Hamburg and other educational institutes in that city will join forces with CHIME to launch a workshop on Music Education in China. The idea is a three-day workshop in which a limited number of invited presenters will contribute papers and performances. Most participants will be self-paid or will need to apply for grants from their own institutions, as with the annual bigger CHIME conferences. Scholars or musicians interested in joining this can contact Frank Kouwenhoven at chime＠wxs.nl, or Carsten Krause at carsten.krause＠konfuzius-institut-hamburg.de) for more information.
The workshop will coincide with CHINA TIME 2016, a biennial festival initiated by the City Government of Hamburg. Further partners in the CHIME workshop initiative include the Hamburg Academy for Music and Theatre (Hochschule für Musik und Theater and the Hamburg Conservatory (Hamburger Konservatorium).
Our idea is a workshop of limited proportions – about 40 participants, with some presenting papers on research, and others giving practical musical demonstrations, discussing Chinese music teaching methods, concepts and problems. We will look into modern conservatory-style music training (Western as well as Chinese instruments and voice training), but also at musical training in more traditional frameworks such as opera troupes, traditional master-pupil relationships, and music training in history. The focus will range from high-level professional training to music teaching in elementary or middle schools, or in private musical enterprise and amateur circles.
Two-day joint CCCM/CHIME forum on Chinese music
23-24 May 2016, Lisbon
澳门科学文化中心将于2016年5月23-24日在葡萄牙首都里斯本举办为期两天的“中国音乐和乐器”的论坛。这个活动是与“磬”（CHIME）基金会共同组织的，与此同时，也得到了Fundação Jorge Álvares以及里斯本大学的孔子学院的机构的支持。此次活动的主旨是邀请中国音乐专家参与并带来他们的研究领域，以期引发葡萄牙大学与音乐学院以及各机构的学者、音乐家与学生们的共同关注。随着“磬”（CHIME）会议的日渐成熟，一个类似的有希望在2017年举办的活动将能在2018年的夏天于里斯本的CCM举行。详情见下：
The Macau Scientific and Cultural Centre (CCCM) in Lisbon, Portugal hosts a two-day forum on Chinese music and musical instruments on 23 and 24 May 2016 in Lisbon. The event is organized in cooperation with the Chime Foundation, with generous support from Fundação Jorge Álvares and the Institutio Confucio of the University of Lisbon.
The primary idea is to invite a small number of Chinese music specialists to bring this field to the attention of music scholars, students and musicians in Portugese universities, music conservatories and academies. A similar event can hopefully be hosted in 2017, as the upbeat to a full-fledged CHIME conference, to take place at CCM in Lisbon in the summer of 2018.
Over the past five centuries, Portugal has maintained strong diplomatic, cultural and trade relations with China, but so far Portugals universities with music departments (there are three of such institutions) have not paid much attention to Chinese music or musical instruments, nor has this field been tackled in any of the Portugese music conservatories and academies.
Enio de Souza and his colleagues at CCCM wish to make a case for Chinese music by setting up some small introductory forums on this topic, and by investigating possibilities for one or more long-term academic lecture series. The forums of 2016 and 2017 will be open to college and conservatory students and teachers as well as to the general public.
CHIME has pledged its support for this fine initiative. Well keep everyone posted on the Lisbon meetings, and hope to welcome the CHIME community to the sun and the light of Lisbon during a major CHIME conference in 2018.
