The Musiké Project

RESEARCH, RECOVERY, DOCUMENTATION, CONSERVATION & DISSEMINATION  OF THE ETHNOMUSICOLAGICAL HERITAGE

Under the Culture-Research Programmes. Addressing the SDGs 4 and 16.

Musics, rhythms, styles, structures, rites, transcripts, interviews, pictures, films, reflections, intuitions, thoughts and visions on ethnic, root, world and traditional music are the focus of this project.

Musiké’s purpose is to research, recover, document and conserve the world’s ethnomusicological heritage and to disseminate it across a wide audience by means of concerts, books, CDs, CD-ROMs, DVDs, periodicals and websites dedicated to the subject. In this way, it is possible to provide a contribution towards a better understanding of cultural diversities and a greater tolerance between peoples, thanks to a deeper understanding of musical traditions and in virtue of the meta-historical values of human existence of which music is among the principal bearers.

Musiké is not aimed solely at anthropologists, ethnomusicologists and sociologists but also and primarily towards musicians, connoisseurs, students and music lovers in general. This is a wide spectrum project with an accurate and natural balance between educational values and musical enjoyment.

Musiké is structured along intercultural lines and incorporates three areas of activity: Concerts,  Opera, and the  Musiké Journal.

The Musiké Project is an endeavour aligned with the UNESCO programme for the safeguard of the intangible cultural heritage (ICH).
