Appel de conférences pour le colloque « Mahillon and his time. Musical instruments between industrialization and geopolitics », Oxford (28 Juin 2024) et Bruxelles (5-7 Juillet 2024).

« Founder of the ‘Instrumental Museum’ of the Royal Conservatory in Brussels, member of a prominent family of musical instrument makers, writer on the manufacture and acoustics of musical instruments, developer of an influential classification system… each affirms Victor-Charles Mahillon’s central position in organology. Mahillon was working in a period when the coextensive industrialization and colonial expansion of Europe deeply reshaped the global economics and politics. At the organological level, this led to the growth of manufacture on an industrial scale, to the opening of worldwide routes for the acquisition of musical instruments and to sharing of information and experiences through exhibitions, publications and correspondence.

Marking the 100th anniversary of his death, the Galpin Society and the Musical Instruments Museum are organizing a joint conference in Oxford (28 June 2024) and Brussels (5-7 July 2024). »

Date limite de soumission : 15 janvier 2024.
