This conference aims to deal with the complex world of symphonism during the nineteenth century, a period in which symphonism encompassed not only the creation of musical products and performances, but also significantly affected many compositional approaches, as well as aesthetic factors, such as the opposition between programme and absolute music. The emergence of the great symphony orchestras led to unprecedented types of professional interaction, and new forms of patronage. It also fostered the creation of a specific repertoire, and the construction of the first purpose-built concert halls. These developments originated in Europe at the beginning of the 19th century, in conjunction with the development of music destined for increasing orchestral formations, and the concert as a social phenomenon, available to the public, rather than reserved for exclusive social circles sponsored by royalty, the aristocracy or the bourgeoisie. Finally, symphonic repertoire favoured the creation of a particular approach to performance among orchestral conductors, which continued into post-Romanticism and that have persisted to the present day.
The programme committee encourages submissions within the following areas, although other topics are also welcome:
• Repertoire, composition, analysis and musical creation
• Musical aesthetics and criticism: programme and absolute music
• Orchestras and symphonic ensembles
• Performing practice, orchestra conductors and performative models
• Musical performing venues, production system, consumption, entertainment system in the European countries

• The public and its social component
