Notes from Antiquity: Glaukos of Rhegion on Ancient Greek Music

Giustina Monti is giving a talk on ancient Greek music at the Minerva Building on Monday 19 April 2027. It's part of the Notes from Antiquity series, and the session is titled Glaukos of Rhegion on Ancient Greek Music.

Monti is with the University of Lincoln, and the talk focuses on Glaukos of Rhegion, a figure from the ancient world who wrote about the music of his time. It's a look at how the Greeks thought about music and how they went about it, rather than a performance of the music itself. The whole thing runs for an hour, so it's a single session you can fit into an evening without it taking up the whole night.

The talk is held in the Minerva Building on the University of Lincoln's Brayford Pool campus, in the heart of the city. It starts at 18:15, with refreshments available from 17:45, so if you want to grab a drink and a chat before it kicks off, you can get there a bit early. The refreshments give you a good window to settle in and meet a few people before the talk actually begins.

Tickets are £4, but it's free for national Historical Association members, students, teachers and university staff. If you're not already a member, branch membership is £15 a year. Between the early start and the hour's duration, you'll be out by 19:15, making it an easy one to slot in on a Monday evening.
