Four Decades of Folk Music Research in Finland

         

It is inspiring to now have an opportunity to participate in the 40-Year Jubilee Symposium of the Folk Music Department at Sibelius Academy, University of the Arts Helsinki.  

 

I used to work as a Professor there about 15 years ago and helped to establish its Master of Global Music program. It is a pleasure to have this opportunity to return and see the current situation, as well as to meet other singing researchers as part of the Singing Maps project managed by my colleague David Johnson.

 

The symposium will be live-streamed on the University of the Arts YouTube channel, and links for the streaming are provided at the end of the program. Click HERE to access the symposium program.
