Anestis Logothetis: Centenary Symposium

7-8 December 2021, Athens, Greece
Website
Call for Submissions

Anestis Logothetis (1921-1994) was a unique pioneer of 20th century music. By redefining the roles of the composer, the performer(s) and the audience and by multimodally capturing expressive musical elements that would normally be perceptible exclusively through sound, his graphic notation constitutes a milestone towards new conceptions of music as a temporal art form.

The Music Department of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens invites researchers of Logothetis’ work to a symposium celebrating his 100th anniversary. Beyond the obvious focus on his own compositional practices and aesthetic ideas, of special interest would be scholarly and artistic research contributions around a wider range of practices that resonate with Logothetis’ work. Such practices could include both historical instances of graphic/verbal scores, as well as the latest developments in technologically advanced forms of notation, visualisation, representation and human-machine interaction in music. In this way, we wish to rethink the multimodal focus of Logothetis’ work beyond its own time, as a precursor of contemporary and future tendencies through explorations in multimedia, cybernetics and interaction.

Next to the academic conference, two concerts of Logothetis’ music by renowned ensembles and soloists will take place at the Greek National Opera and at the University of Athens Concert Hall.
