Based on two earlier volumes published in German under the title Das Konzert (The Concert), and with a selection of new chapters written for the English edition, this companion enables students, researchers, and practitioners in the classical and contemporary music fields to understand this emerging field of research, go beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries and methodologies, and spark a renaissance for the classical concert.
Martin Tröndle is the WÜRTH Chair of Cultural Production at Zeppelin University, Germany, and a principal investigator of ECR—Experimental Concert Research, a project that investigates aesthetic experience in the classical concert. He is also Co-Editor-in-Chief of the peer-reviewed Journal of Cultural Management and Cultural Policy.
