The course Staging Music: Programs, Productions, Policies & Pecunia forms part of the practical training track within the Applied Musicology program and studies various aspects surrounding the production of concerts, CD's, radio programs and the like. Solidly grounded in recent musicological debates on issues of programming music, the first part of the course addresses the fundamentals of staging music from a historical, as well as from a practical perspective. In collaboration with experts active in the field, exemplary productions will be analyzed from original program idea, production process, financial and legal challenges, to the final program and financial coda, and reception.
