A Few Words by J.R.Monroy, Emeritus Professor, Hon. Chair.
Covid-19 pandemic has changed our social habits and affected
our daily domestico and working life, a new phenomenon of
social-discomfort have started influencing social routines and
people's family and working lives. What to do in this complex
social circumstances when authorities are learning how to
control and to guide us to avoid health problems and
economic catastrophes?
This epidemic is in a process to becoming part of our present
culture, associated with our common customs and beliefs in
different parts of the globe, accordingly to their respective level
of understanding and social capacity to confront it and to find
rational transitorial solutions. How far, and in what respect, science
is collaborating to alleviate this global pain and to protect millions
of human lives, which today are in danger of being contaminated
and to be erased from the surface of the planet earth. We all
pray to find a definitive scientific solution to this malefic pandemic
virus.
Culture and Music as intrinsically concatenated in all types of
Human Society, primitive, modern or super-industrial. Moreover,
The Cultural Evolution of mankind contributes to enhance the
social role and importance of music in any society, tribal or
civilized with different historical evolution.
Our webinar will be focussed in the present phenomenon of
music and its social-cultural inter-relations and how music,
culture and society are part of one and unique phenomenon
to create music, to entertain and to educate individuals and
crowds. We will focus our dialogue on personal experiences
of composers, performers and musicians, shall we say, all
of them, intellectual craftsmen of the performing art and
with a unique role in society.
According to our understanding their intellectual work not
only contributes to knowledge but also is part of the Human
Spirit and its place deep in mankind-society. In essence,
Music and Culture opened up the unlimited possibilities
of improving the moral and intellectual conditions of
mankind.
I hope LACCS-UK webinars will awaken an intellectual
debate to upbringing a more comprehensive role of
music in society and in the Cultural Evolution of the
present Homo Sapiens.
