The Congress coincides with the 75th anniversary of the Association of IAML and with the 10th anniversary of the establishment of its Greek branch, IAML GR, and brings together institutions and specialists from Europe, USA, Africa, Asia, and Oceania, addressing a wide range of contemporary issues — from collection management and preservation to Artificial Intelligence and copyright law — thereby highlighting the future of music documentation and archival practice.
The title of Renata Dalianoudi’s paper is:
“The Performativity of Archives in Concert Halls and Performance Venues: Case Study, the Upcoming Exhibition ‘Thessaloniki: The Musical Palimpsest in the Twentieth Century — Popular and Art Music Creation’, organized by the Institute of Greek Music Heritage (IEMK) and the Thessaloniki Concert Hall.”
