Communicating music scenes. Networks, power, technology. May 19–20, 2017. The first international conference in Hungary focusing on the relations and communications between people, formal and informal institutions, and technologies in the context of music making. Understanding and exploring music scenes as networks can help us to uncover the power relations that affect those scenes, while also leading to a nuanced understanding of the changing technological and media context in which music is produced, disseminated, consumed, and talked about.

Two members of the Archives for 20th and 21st Century Hungarian Music, András Ránki and Ferenc János Szabó have won the Zoltán Kodály Scholarship for 2017.
