Josine Blok, Professor of Ancient History at the University of Utrecht, was the seventh guest of the Eventalks series on the 4th of September 2015. The initiative was organized by the Organisatie Oudemuziek, in close collaboration with the Centre for the Humanities at Utrecht University and the Residenties in Utrecht programme. The series of talks took place during the Early Music Festival 2015 at TivoliVredenburg. The Eventalks consisted of a short (15 minute) spoken intervention by a thinker, scholar or teacher, accompanied by music that strives to guide us, ever so gently, towards the coming of the darkness.
"Muziek brengt mensen in beweging. In de Griekse stadstaten was muziek een onmisbare factor in het gezamenlijke leven van de burgers. Welke ideeën zaten daarachter en waarom zagen politieke filosofen muziek als de basis van goed burgerschap? En wat hebben deze ideeën nu nog te zeggen voor ons leven als burgers?"
