Progetto Harmonium 19
The recent acquisition of about ten
harmonium and reed organs from several
schools and years boosted the creation of
a research group at the Musicology and
Cultural Heritage Department of Pavia
University at Cremona that aims to study
the instrument and its repertoire.
In November 2019, we will organise an
international conference, a related
exhibition highlighting instruments from
the University Museum collection and
other privates, and a masterclass led by
Joris Verdin.
