JERUS-IT-ARTS investigates the artistic exchange between Italy and Jerusalem through cutting-edge Digital Humanities research and hands-on teaching programmes. Bringing together conservatoires, universities and cultural institutions on both shores of the Mediterranean, the project rediscovers, preserves and shares the rich musical, artistic and dance heritage that has linked the two cultures since the Middle Ages.
By inventorying and digitising the musical archive of the Franciscan Custody of the Holy Land in Jerusalem, restoring historic instruments, running joint courses and winter schools, and premiering new compositions and choreographies, JERUS-IT-ARTS turns centuries of exchange into fresh knowledge, training and artistic creation.
