Here comes a last-minute update about both lectures which have been announced earlier:

The lecture by Lisbeth Ahlgren Jensen (about Hortense Panum, Denmark’s first professional musicologist who wrote about harps and lyres in Northern Europe and tried to propagate the langeleg in Danmark) is unfortunately cancelled.

The lecture by Vincent Laine (Reconstructing an extinct musical style) will be streamed online from Finland.

Finally, the programme is available for download (PDF).

Please respect that Denmark has its own currency which you may need in case you get thirsty. There will be delicious local beverages for sale, but for Danish cash only, no credit cards, no digital nonsense. Since the organisers are not bankers, it is your own responsibility to localise a Danish cash machine to withdraw the amount of local currency which you intend to to spend.
