3RD EUTERPE CONFERENCE 2026
Euterpe Network – Forum for Sound and Music Museums and Collections
National Museum of Music
Mafra, Portugal
3 November 2026
This is an initiative of Binaural Nodar as part of the “Creative Europe Tramontana IV” project.
Binaural Nodar took part in the 3rd Euterpe Network Conference, held on 3 November 2026 at the National Museum of Music in Mafra. Luís Costa, coordinator of Binaural Nodar, presented the paper ‘A Regional Sound and Audiovisual Archive in the Light of the Opportunities and Challenges of its Interoperability’, on the integration of the Binaural Nodar Digital Archive in the context of the Tramontana Network archives.
The presentation was part of Panel 1: Documentation, archives and digitisation, moderated by Ana Botas (National Museum of Music), alongside Vicente Fino (Casa de Bragança Museum and Library), Sílvia Sequeira (National Library of Portugal) and Márcia Costa (Oliveira do Bairro Municipal Council).
Organised and coordinated by the National Museum of Music, the Euterpe Network is an informal and open platform that brings together public and private organisations holding sound and music collections, with a view to sharing knowledge and developing joint projects. The programme of the day also included a participatory assessment of the Network, a panel discussion on collections, spaces and outreach, the talk ‘Between the display case and the concert’ on the conservation, construction and performance of sound objects, and a technical tour of the museum.
The participation of Binaural Nodar brought the Tramontana project to another network of museums and sound and music collections.
