III Open Russia Culturological and Journalistic Seminar

A Joint Educational Project of the Center for Contemporary Music of the Moscow Conservatory and the portal Stravinsky.online

 

The seminar presents a somewhat unusual angle in discussion of music criticism. Its subject range departs from the presently widespread genre of lectures «How to Write an Advertisement”, “How to Take an Interview”, “Ten Names Which it is Impossible Not to Know”, etc. As part of this educational program, we shall examine the discipline of criticism not as writing texts in standard formats, but as an important part of the musical infrastructure.
