This two-day international collaborative symposium explores how musical identities were shaped and reimagined across the Irish Sea. It aims to foster dialogues between scholarship, performance, and artistic practice, providing a platform for re-examining underrepresented strands of cultural history. Themes include:

  • Repertoire recovery, editorial practices, and historiographical re-evaluation
  • The careers, contributions, and compositions of musicians in the Celtic nations
  • The cultivation of cultural identities through music
  • Transnational collaboration and exchange
  • Cross-disciplinary artistic and creative partnerships
  • Approaches to heritage preservation in the twenty-first century through curation and education

This is the second day of a two day symposium. For more information please see here.

This event is run in accordance with Trinity’s Dignity and Respect policy, and its commitment to nurturing a respectful and inclusive research culture.
