Conversations in Musicology
Presented by The Manipal-Samvaad Centre for Indian Music
The Manipal-Samvaad Center for Indian music brings to you the second in a series of lectures and conversations on the musicology of Hindustani Khayal music. The series hopes to bring together musicologists and thinkers who address the Khayal genre through a diverse set of scholarly and performative approaches such as the Euro-American idiom of academic writing as well as the Indian idiom of performative scholarship. Each session will include short presentations by scholars, followed by an informal interaction between them and the invited audience.
