CHIME 2015 Geneva -
CONFERENCE THEME: THE NEW FACE OF CHINESE MUSIC
Where has Chinese music gone over the past few decades? Where is it positioned today? Many artists are keen
to explore new ways, new media, new platforms. Traditional music, too, is being promoted in new formats:
intangible cultural heritage projects, internet archives, eco-cultural protection zones, eco-museums, honorary
life grants, special exhibitions, special concert tours and more. How are innovative spirits in China currently
reshaping the country's music? Does the idea of 'going back to one's roots' have any continued relevance? What
are the future perspectives for Chinese music, at home, abroad, in performative and in educational terms? In the
upcoming CHIME meeting in Geneva in October 2015, we hope to tackle these questions together with some of
the country's foremost contemporary composers, conservatory musicians, classical and folk musical performers:
the meeting is a broad attempt to assess the current state of Chinese music. As always, we offer a platform for
critical voices from many different backgrounds, from music scholars and anthropologists to music policy makers,
media workers, and committed aficionados.
CONFERENCE VENUE
The 2015 CHIME conference will be held in Geneva, Switzerland, at the centre of Europe. Sitting at the southern
tip of the beautiful Lac Léman, the city is surrounded by the Alps and Jura mountains, with spectacular views on
Mont- Blanc. Headquarters of Europe’s United Nations and the Red Cross, it’s a global hub for diplomacy. French
influence is widespread, from the language, culture, to gastronomy.
The conference is hosted by the Geneva Haute école de musique de Genève, one of the most comprehensive and
dynamic music school in Europe, welcoming teachers and students from all around the world. The conferences
and concerts will take place the historical building of the Conservatoire de Musique, founded 1835, and situated
in Place Neuve, Geneva’s cultural city centre. A few sessions will be hosted by Les Salons, a charming small theatre
situated 50 meters from the main building.
Address: Conservatoire de Musique de Genève, Place Neuve.
