Music-archaeological studies often draw to a large extent on experimental activities, which are more and more reflected in the scientific discourse, as the subject evolves. This symposium acknowledges current trends in the experimental reconstruction and making of ancient musical instruments, and in experimental playing. General considerations on the topic as well as case studies are welcome.

The symposium is held during the ARCHAEOMUSICA exhibition at the State Museum of Archaeology Brandenburg (January 18 - May 27, 2018). It will be one of the last chances to see the exhibition.
