The 'Interdisciplinary Symposium: Music without Walls? Source Studies in the 21st Century' is being held to coincide with the twentieth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall and to celebrate subsequent developments in music source studies. The aims of this symposium are to present and contextualize recent findings and to discuss how new technologies may facilitate and enhance our understanding of these issues. Papers are not restricted to the theme which was the impetus for the symposium; possible contributions inspired by this title may include new discoveries of manuscripts, archival research in former 'Eastern-Bloc' countries or areas of conflict, case studies of various geographical locales, the implications of technological developments and future directions in source studies.

The Symposium will open with a research seminar given by Dr Michael Maul (Bach-Archiv, Leipzig), Wednesday 16 December, 1 pm.
