Carl Nielsen - European Composer

The conference ‘Nielsen – European Composer’ present papers that relate to the topic of Carl Nielsen (1865–1931) and parallel figures, which can be perceived as early modern composers within the context of European music history. The idea of the conference is to discuss in which ways European composers born in the 1860s–70s are modern composers and how we may understand their modernity.

We are proud to announce Daniel M. Grimley (Oxford) and Julian Horton (Durham) as key-note speakers.

The Carl Nielsen research project at University of Copenhagen has since 2018 worked towards a monograph on Nielsen as a European composer. The conference will feed back into this work.
