The university master’s degree in Music as an Interdisciplinary Art is intended to relate the different artistic disciplines that are involved jointly with music to stimulate artistic expressiveness, as in our times multidisciplinarity and interdisciplinarity are two of the most innovative proposals in both the research and professional world. Stress will be placed on showing the links that have been made in the different artistic intersections throughout the history of art, and specifically of the history and aesthetics of music. Music, plastic arts, visual arts, literature, cinema and new technologies will be the central points from which these intersections will be analysed.
