Musicological Colloquium Summer Term 2026

What is the Musicology Colloquium?

The musicology colloquium provides thought-provoking insights into musicological research. It serves the purpose of networking and the discussion of various lectures. Scholars from musicology and other disciplines are invited to present their current research projects or discuss new research approaches. Master's students also present their theses in this context. Whether at Master's or Bachelor's level - all students are welcome to take part in the colloquium, join in the discussions and talk to experienced researchers or simply listen and take a glimpse into the world of science.
