Is music the universal language?

During this “Serieus Curieus” lecture, former Concertgebouw Maker singer Lieselot De Wilde and Kris Van den Branden, a professor of linguistics, will engage in a dialogue. Together they explore the boundaries between music and language: how much influence does a sound pattern have on a song? What about the singer’s cultural identity and mother tongue? Is there still such a thing as a folk song tradition in our globalised society?
