Early Music Conference "Musicking" : Cultural Considerations

May 13-17, 2019, Eugene
CFP Deadline: December 1, 2018
Website

University of Oregon School of Music and Dance, Eugene, Oregon

The goal of the Musicking conference is to stimulate student and community interest in early music and historical performance practice studies by offering five days of panels, educational performance classes, and performances that will be free and open to all students and community members. The conference will host five panel sessions that will deal with Cultural Considerations in a broad sense. The Musicking committee welcomes proposals addressing all aspects of performance practice studies (from the Middle Ages to the present), not only from a purely historical point of view, but also from a broader cultural perspective. Since this year’s concerts will feature two lesser-known oratorios – Perti’s La Beata Imelda and Colombani’s Santa Ceciglia - at least one panel focusing on performance issues relative to the Italian baroque oratorio will be organized.

The Musicking conference also invites proposals for Lecture Performances. Proposals should be for programs 30-45 minutes in length and designed to engage audiences in an informal and fairly intimate setting. Proposals should include a short concert/lecture description and music selection, and should include an mp3 audio file or Youtube.com link displaying the performer’s musical ability.

Funding opportunities are available for lecture-performers and lutenists interested in participating in the conference.

Applicants are encouraged to blur the academic distinctions of musicology, ethnomusicology, music theory, education, modern performance practices, historical performance practice, and other academic fields, and consider the conference topic through a lens of musicking, in all its possible facets.

All proposals should be sent by Saturday, December 1, 2018 through the Musicking website. Please visit the Website for complete submission instructions and more information about the Musicking Conference.
