About this Event

The Music, Migration and Mobility exhibition, available on 12 roll up banners, continues its journey!

Brought together by an international team of musicians, archival researchers, musicologists and geographers for one of the biggest research projects at the RCM to date.

As part of a four year interdisciplinary project studies the mobile lives, artistic products and impact on British culture of musicians who came from Nazi-ruled Europe during the 1930s and '40s.

An ambitious programme of archival research in the UK, Germany, Austria and on the Isle of Man will shed new light on their experiences and contributions to national cultural renewal after the war and inform the practical investigations. Based on the archival research, the project will create online story maps that visualise where these musicians came from as well as where and with whom they worked, aiming both to understand and display the artistic relationships they formed with their British colleagues and with each other.
