CESEM researchers at Cantus Planus 2024 in Hungary

Alberto Medina de Seiça, Elsa De Luca (‘in absentia’), Francesco Orio, Haig Utidjian, Kristin Hoefener, Manuel Pedro Ferreira, Martha Thomae (‘in absentia’), Océane Boudeau and Svetlana Poliakova – these are the CESEM researchers who will be present at Cantus Planus 2024. The conference, which will bring together scholars, performers and other interested parties from around the globe, will take place this week in Gödöllő, Hungary.

Cantus Planus is a study group of the International Musicological Society. Its objective is the advancement of research in fields relevant to the history and practice of liturgical plainchant as branches of learning and scholarship. In pursuing this objective, the study group encourages international cooperation and facilitates relations among researchers.

The 2024 edition also marks forty years since the IMS group was founded in Veszprém (Hungary) by a distinguished group of plainchant scholars such as Benjamin Rajeczky OCist, László Dobszay and Janka Szendrei.
