Music and dance which are two of the most effective tools in the analysis of society appear as important expressions of construction and transmission of the cultural identity.Because of that point of view, symposium is entitled as "Memory and Cultural Heritage".

Cultural memory is one of the most important factors in the transmission of common values, habits and lifestyles in society. Especially when it is considered in terms of music and dance performances, the close relationship between memory and cultural heritage is remarkable and addressed with interdisciplinary approach in recent years.
