MUGI Turns 20 ◊ Two Decades of “Music and Gender on the Internet”

In 2004, MUGI (Music and Gender on the Internet) went online as a freely accessible research and publication platform with its first articles and is now the oldest, still-active online research project at the HfMT. The goal: to further develop musicological gender studies in Europe and to anchor them in the discourse of musicology and cultural studies. In addition to an encyclopedia that now includes more than 600 biographical entries with lists of works, sources, and bibliographies, as well as collections of materials and research references, the multimedia presentations—which introduce female musicians and gender-related topics—are an integral part of MUGI. MUGI is edited by Beatrix Borchard, its founder at the HfMT Hamburg, Nina Noeske (HfM Weimar), and Silke Wenzel (HfMT Hamburg).

The celebration will take place on Saturday, June 8, 2024, starting at 10:00 a.m. at the Hamburg University of Music and Drama, where the honoree will be celebrated in a public event featuring lectures, music, and a roundtable discussion. In the evening, pianist Lauma Skride will perform Fanny Hensel’s piano cycle “Das Jahr”; the concert will be moderated by Beatrix Borchard.
