While the Opera Forward Festival pushes the boundaries of new music on stage, the student researchers of the Opera Forward Festival Think Tank explore and critically examine fresh perspectives on music. This evening will begin with an academic and historical overview of the interaction between music and national identity by Krisztina Lajosi-Moore, followed by three panel discussions where the student researchers will present their insights on the national canon, the connection between music and politics and the shaping of cultural identities.
This programme is part of the Opera Forward Festival 2025. The Opera Forward Festival Think Tank is an international group of students from across the Netherlands whose academic and artistic practices critically explore arts, culture, politics, identity, and performance.
SPUI25 is the academic-cultural podium of Amsterdam. Since 2007, we have been giving scientists, authors, artists and other thinkers the opportunity to shine a light on issues that occupy, inspire or concern them. In cooperation with a large number of academic and cultural partners, we organize between 250 and 300 freely accessible programs per year. These are enriching, often interdisciplinary programs that move between science and culture, fact and fiction.
SPUI25 is one of the UvA podia in the University Quarter.
