This year’s Symposium of the ICTM Study Group on Music and Dance in Southeastern Europe held online due to the momentary worldwide health situation and restrictions, took place from 23rd to 25th of April. It concentrated on three main themes, mutually intertwining them, but also touching on topics beyond them. It included 47 presentations grouped under these three themes: “Music and dance in the cultural basin of the Black Sea” (7 presentations), “dance and music as resistance, integration and separation” (13 presentations), and “performance places and spaces – how these are constructed” (27 presentations).
