The Afterlife of Ancient Music from Late Antiquity to the Renaissance
This lecture-recital follows the transmission and transformation of Greek music theory from its philosophical foundations in Pythagoras and Plato to its rearticulation in Late Antiquity, and its eventual revival in the Renaissance by figures such as Girolamo Mei and Vincenzo Galilei. The event concludes with performances of surviving Greek musical fragments on a reconstructed kithara, accompanied by the AMO chorus.
Ancient Music at Oxford is pleased to present at the Keble Early Music Festival at 12:00 on the 28th February, 2025 in the O'Reilly Theatre.
Admission to this talk is free.
