Music

Through interdisciplinary research, music bridges tradition and innovation and fosters dialogue between science, the arts and society.

Music is brought to life at the Academy of Sciences and Literature | Mainz, ranging from historical compositions to contemporary developments. Through projects, conferences and concerts, the Academy combines musicological research with musical practice and conveys their cultural and social significance. The aim is to promote an understanding of musical heritage and innovation, to open up new perspectives and to strengthen the dialogue between researchers, artists and the public.

Academy Centre for Music

The Academy Centre for Music (AM) brings together the Academy’s diverse activities in music research, practice and education under four pillars: the Academy’s musicological projects (editions and documentation projects, complete works editions, bibliographic source collections), the digital focus (Centre for Digital Music Documentation), the Literature and Music Class (music-related research with scholarly reflection and support) and musical practice (concerts, music education and discussion forums).
