As the South Korea branch of IAML and RISM, the EMRI (Ewha Music Research Institute) organized an international conference entitled “Keeping Music Alive: Women Composers in Digital Music Archives” on October 27 and 28, 2017.
2015년 6월, IAML/IMS NEW YORK은 나에게 특별했다. Outreach Funding을 받고 참여할 수 있어서 의미가 남달랐고 줄리어드 스쿨과 뉴욕이 주는 설렘도 있었다. 음악을 하며 나중엔 꼭 나만의도서관을 가지고 싶다라는 큰 꿈을 가졌을 만큼 음악과 도서관은 오랫동안 나의 머리 속에서 공생하고 있었던 듯 하다. 그러다 음악학을 공부하면서 음악자료들을 다루고 체계적으로 정리하여 연구에 기반을 만들고 협업하는 일에 자연스레 관심이 생겼고, 그래서일까 이번 학회는 나에게커다란 선물 보따리 같았다.
The Ewha Music Research Institute (EMRI) recently completed a 3-year project to establish a database of East Asia’s Educational Music Documents in October 2014. The result, Ewha Music Data Base (EMDB), now showcases the EMRI’s work of collecting and digitizing music education materials of East Asia: over 12,000 items of various types of music materials are listed. Its website (eMUSICdb.info) has been open to the public since November 1, 2014.
The IAML-South Korea branch was founded in October 2014 under the purview of the Ewha Music Research Institute (EMRI).
It seeks to establish and organize research activities on music documentation of East Asia with innovative approaches through the support of experts in the field and collaboration with neighboring fields...
A week has passed since the conference ”Keeping Music Alive: Innovative Approaches to Music Documentation and Interpretation” ended. The Conference was arranged by Ewha Womans [sic] University in Seoul and several IAML members participated. I was inivited in my capacity as Secretary General of IAML and made a presentation of our Association. IAML’s President Barbara Mackenzie was also attending, but this time in her role as Chief-Editor of RILM. Jennifer Ward, working at the RISM office in Frankfurt, gave her own paper "RISM for Librarians and Students".
