Resilience, Ritual & Revolution: Emmanuel Vukovich on Reimagining Music for Humanity
Description
In this powerful episode of Music Industry Insights Worldwide, Saskhia Menendez sits down with Montreal-based violist, curator, and visionary creator Emmanuel Vukovich to explore how music can become a living force for resilience, intercultural dialogue, and social transformation.
From his groundbreaking PARZIVAL & FEIREFIZ – A New Musical Grail Narrative for Diversity to the deeply research-driven RESILIENCE Project, Emmanuel is reshaping how classical music speaks to contemporary humanity.
Together, they explore:
How medieval narratives inspire modern conversations about diversity
The creation of a “new musical grail” for inclusion and unity
Honouring migrant agricultural workers through sound and storytelling
Bridging academia and performance through global collaborations
Working with institutions including Harvard University, McGill University, the Bartók Archives (Budapest), and the Paul Sacher Foundation (Basel)
Why resilience, human and planetary must be central to artistic practice
Emmanuel shares insights from his research collaborations with leading archives and universities, his work with Grammy Award-winning Tambuco Percussion Ensemble, and his mission to connect culture, agriculture, identity, and music across borders.
This is a conversation about depth. About courage. About reimagining legacy.
And about how art can hold space for healing in a fractured world.
Tune in for an episode that challenges, inspires, and expands what we believe music can do.
