“The Birth of Contemporary Europe: World War I, Music and the Arts”

In this international multidisciplinary conference, we expect to discuss several issues that have to do with artistic and cultural manifestations and their connection to music and sound in general, which occur both during, but also after, the end of the Great War.
In this wide perspective the presented papers will focus on issues such as (but not limited to):
- Music and Visual Arts
