Musikalsk modernisering

Astrid Kvalbein’s Ph D project explores the work of Pauline Hall (1890-1969) as classical composer, theatre woman and leader of Ny Musikk, the Norwegian Section of the International Society for Contemporary Music (ISCM). Hall’s work is explored and discussed in relation to different conceptions of modernization, modernity and modernism through a combination of biographical, performance and discourse-oriented appoaches.
