In the framework of the Hello TEMPUS-Reich 90 event, a special conference-concert within the global 2026 Reich series, we are organizing an interdisciplinary colloquium as a core scientific discourse. This will be a focused, seminar-style dialogue held in Budapest on November 2, 2026.
The colloquium serves as the central scientific component of the event, taking place in the historic Pesti Vigadó before an audience of 120 people. Reserved, personalized seating will be provided for all colloquium participants.
The colloquium is built around the keynote lecture by Professor Simha Arom, the world-renowned ethnomusicologist, titled „Steve Reich and African Music – Rhythmic Ambiguity as a Constitutive Principle.”
The lecture focuses on Steve Reich’s phase-shifting technique and its relationship to African music aesthetics, as well as its connection to time perception, which principally differs from Western European traditions.
Following the keynote and short presentations by scholars of deconstruction, anthropology of art, and speech-processing, participants will share their insights on the main topic from the perspective of their respective disciplines in 3–10 minute contributions. Contributions may be published in a special interdisciplinary issue following the event.
