SUPPORT CAMPAIGN
"Ethnomusicology and systematic musicology at the Academy of the Arts
in Tiranë, Albania"

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

In the summer semester 2009, two new subjects are being introduced to
the curriculum of the degree course at the Academy of the Arts in
Tiranë, Albania: ethnomusicology and systematic musicology. The
foreign language literature and the necessary basis in terms of audio
and video publications for both subjects are lacking in Albania. The
Academy has hardly any financial resources for this purpose.

The support campaign "Ethnomusicology and systematic musicology at the
Academy of the Arts in Tiranë, Albania", is intended to raise the
awareness of the academic community and all interested parties for the
need to help to develop the library and sound archive of this
institution. In return, the library would try to offer publications on
traditional music in Albania if there is an interest.

In addition, the equipping of a studio for the processing of audio and
video material as well as a lecture room with all the necessary
equipment at today's standards is being considered. Detailed plans for
this have been drawn up. If you have any questions, please contact us at
the addresses given below.

Yours sincerely

Prof. Dr. Sokol Shupo
Dean, Faculty of Music
Academy of the Arts in Tiranë, Albania
