Beyond the broad coast horizon: diversity and transversality in cultural heritage
Cultural heritage is deeply bound to human life in general - on this "Earth Day" (22nd April), we pay homage to the land where we live, fostering respect for our planet and the broad humanity. Museum, acoustics, engineering, conservation, applied performance, and all subjects related to organology are strongly welcome.
30th of April: the final date for submissions is approaching, it is still possible to send proposals for lectures, recitals, concerts, workshops, other activities or participation at the Exhibition. More information may be read at the website (link).
