**Introduction*
This conference proposes a study of the concert as a social, cultural and
musical phenomenon during a period in which Spanish music particularly
flourished: from the eighteenth to the twenty-first centuries.
Since the beginning of music historiography, music history has been
conceived as a succession of composers, performers and institutions. This
vision has only changed in recent decades, owing to the influence of
cultural studies and anthropology, which defended the social and cultural
context of musical activity, and to the influence of performance studies,
which demonstrated a glaring absence in music history: that of the
performance of the work. Hence, the meaning of musical works is variable
and is susceptible to a continuous process of (re-)creation and change
through the many historical interpretations it may be subject to.
As a consequence of this change of paradigm, the concert and the
performance it encompasses have now become the centre of the musicological
debate, thus substantially altering their position in music history. The
concert is no longer a subsidiary event that attests to a composer’s or a
work’s trajectory; instead, it is a central event in which music history
itself takes place, so to speak, since the musical work only comes to life
through performance.
This conference aims to contribute to this paradigm change, promoting the
study of the various historical, productive, performative and ideological
aspects of the concert in Spain over a wide chronological time span.
