In November 2024, affilliated doctoral researcher Anna-Maria RAU of the Research Training Group GRK 2833 “East Asian Futures” took part in the 27th International CHIME – Meeting in the Field, conducted by the Chime Foundation at the Zhejiang Conservatory in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China.


The 27th International CHIME – Meeting in the Field was a unique five-day event, combining three days of immersive fieldwork across Zhejiang province (Nov 8–10) with a two day-conference (Nov 11–12) at the Conservatory campus, in which the participants were invited to exchange experiences and present ad hoc reports on their musical fieldwork. Anna-Maria RAU attended all five days and, together with two other participants (Ms ZHENG Xinpei and Ms Adela TICHA), summarized their experiences with the Yue Opera performances they witnessed during the fieldwork.
