a roundtable on music and migration
WEDNESDAY MARCH 27, 2024 | 6:00 PM
MARTIN E. SEGAL THEATER | 365 FIFTH AVENUE
The movement of composers and their musics across borders is not only a recurring and salient topic for Ukrainian composers (perhaps now more than ever), but it is also an important subject across numerous schools of composition and diaspora groups. Join musicologist Tina Frühauf, UCMF founder and creative director Leah Batstone, and two of this year’s young composers from Ukraine Mykhailo Chedryk and Olga Zaitseva-Herz for an exploration of how geographical movement impacts and enriches intellectual and musical exchange.

Tina Frühauf is the Director of the Barry S. Brook Center for Music Research and Documentation at the CUNY Graduate Center in New York City and Executive Director of its largest project, the Répertoire International de Littérature Musicale. Among Dr. Frühauf’s recent editions and books are Transcending Dystopia: Music, Mobility, and the Jewish Community in Germany, 1945–1989 (Oxford University Press, 2021), a finalist for the 2022 Jordan Schnitzer Book Awards; and the Oxford Handbook of Jewish Music Studies (Oxford University Press, 2023). An active scholar and writer, Dr. Frühauf’s current research focuses on the historiography of music scholarship and migration, examining the mass dislocation of peoples in the 20th century and the conditions of globalization, genocide, exile, and minority experience as well as musicology and coloniality.
