An online symposium derived from a cross-national interdisciplinary research project supported by the Harvard-Yenching Institute:
Speakers: Professor YANG Yuanzheng (University of Hong Kong; HYI Visiting Scholar, 2019-20), Professor Kazuo MIYAMOTO (Kyushu University), Dr. Kirie STROMBERG (Yale University), and Professor ZHANG Wenjie (Xiamen University; HYI Visiting Scholar, 2019-20)
Discussant: Professor Lothar VON FALKENHAUSEN (UCLA)
Moderator: Dr. Sheryl CHOW (University of Hong Kong)
By combining archaeological and musicological approaches, this online symposium aims to explore the prehistory of music in ancient China. A series of case studies form its central core, around which the contribution that archaeological finds have made to the formation, refining, or refuting of historical paradigms is evaluated.
