Inaugural meeting of the Center for Studies of Ancient Mediterranean Music (CEMAM)

The Center for the Study of Ancient Mediterranean Music (CEMAM) is a recently created, non-profit cultural association based at the University of Córdoba, under the initiative of Prof. Fuensanta Garrido Domené. It brings together a multidisciplinary team of researchers from various fields, including Classical Philology, Musicology, Archaeology, Ancient History, Art History, Dance History, and Engineering, and from various academic institutions.

The Center’s main goal is to gather academic and specialized information and preserve the history of music and dance in the Mediterranean basin during Antiquity, its antecedents (prehistoric, Assyrian, Babylonian, Egyptian, and Etruscan periods) and its reception, tradition, survival, influence, and evolution in the medieval period, taking into account other cultures and religions (such as Christianity and Islam, for example). 

To introduce CEMAM to the academic community, a virtual meeting will be held on Friday, January 16, at 5:00 PM. To attend the presentation, please join via the following link.
