9月10日，由澳門大學人文社科高等研究院（高研院）主辦的第九期「高研院跨學科派對」於崇文樓成功舉辦。本期活動以 「學科和諧，共建未來」 為主題，邀請了夏威夷大學馬諾阿分校榮休教授、香港中文大學音樂系前系主任Frederick Lau教授，以及澳門大學英語系副教授兼教與學優化中心主任王嘉祺教授擔任講者。
活動伊始，澳門科技大學民族音樂學講師Matthew Haywood帶來了精彩的高胡演奏。隨後，Frederick Lau教授圍繞主題展開分享。他指出，音樂不僅能反映社會與政治生活，同時也深刻塑造其發展。他強調，音樂能跨越語言與文化的界限，創造共情、協商與對話的空間。通過跨文化的案例，他闡釋音樂不僅是審美表達，更是處理身份、歸屬與權威等議題的重要媒介，凸顯音樂既是藝術形式，也是與政治、意識形態和社群互動的社會力量。
王嘉祺教授則結合自己長期參與合唱團的經歷，介紹了合唱團的實踐與曲目，並指出音樂創作不僅是一種藝術表達，更是跨學科交流的有力隱喻——多元聲音在和諧中匯聚，共同創造出超越個體總和的成果。
在互動環節，現場師生踴躍提問，涉及中國音樂如何反映社會、藝術融入教育的途徑，以及人工智能生成音樂與跨學科價值等更廣泛的議題。而作為活動的壓軸環節，王教授在滿珍紀念書院劉沛棋博士的伴奏下深情演繹了德伏夏克歌劇，學術與藝術在此完美交融，為活動畫上了圓滿句號。
「跨學科學術派對」系列活動旨在促進師生之間的學術交流與跨領域對話，鼓勵探索與創新。本次活動吸引了來自不同學科的師生參與，現場氣氛熱烈，充分展現了高研院推動跨學科對話的積極成效。
On September 10, the ninth session of the “IAS X Interdisciplinary Academic Party,” organized by the Institute of Advanced Studies in Humanities and Social Sciences (IAS) at the University of Macau, was successfully held in the lobby of the Cultural Building. The theme of this session was “Harmony in Disciplines for a Connected Future.” The event featured Prof. Frederick Lau, Emeritus Professor at the University of Hawaii at Manoa and former Chair and Professor of Music at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, together with Prof. Katrine K. Wong, Associate Professor in the Department of English and Director of the Centre for Teaching and Learning Enhancement at the University of Macau.
The session opened with a captivating erhu performance by Dr. Matthew Haywood, Lecturer in Ethnomusicology at the Macau University of Science and Technology. Prof. Lau explored music as a powerful cultural practice that both reflects and shapes social and political life. He emphasized that music transcends linguistic and cultural boundaries, creating spaces for empathy, negotiation, and dialogue. Drawing on cross-cultural examples, he illustrated how music functions not only as an aesthetic expression but also as a medium through which issues of identity, belonging, and authority are negotiated.
Prof. Wong then shared her personal journey as a long-standing member of a choi. She introduced her choir’s experiences and repertoire and emphasized that music-making is not merely an artistic expression but also a compelling metaphor for interdisciplinary engagement—where diverse voices converge in harmony to create outcomes greater than the sum of their parts.
During the Q&A session, participants asked diverse questions ranging from the links between music and data science, the role of Chinese music in reflecting society, and strategies for integrating arts into education, to broader topics such as AI-generated music and the value of interdisciplinarity. The dialogue revealed the dynamic interplay between disciplines and inspired participants to consider new approaches to learning and research.
To conclude the event, Prof. Wong delivered a moving performance of opera, accompanied by Dr. Peggy Lau, Resident Fellow at Moon Chun Memorial College. The performance offered a fitting finale that seamlessly combined scholarship with artistry, leaving the audience with a memorable impression.
The IAS Interdisciplinary Academic Party series continues to serve as a platform that fosters academic interaction, promotes cross-disciplinary collaboration, and encourages innovative exploration at IAS.
