Performing Tradition(s): Intercultural Transfers in Music 2016Call for Papers 2 avril 2016,Singapour Royal Musical Association (Southeast Asia Chapter) As a sequel to ITMMC 2015, which centered on intercultural styles of composition and aesthetic transfers, ITMMC 2016 will focus on performance, and its role in various cultural contexts. It will provide music scholars with the opportunity to investigate the mutual influences of traditional and classical music in South-East Asia within the context of Western Classical Music, and vice versa. The conference will explore our understanding of methods, aesthetics, and theory, widening the possibilities that emerge when combining performance traditions across cultures. In the last century, music performance has experienced an explosion of cross-influences. 'Tradition' or 'traditional performance' carries a certain value within local and global contexts. ITMMC 2016 examines both Western and non-Western performances, and how these have shaped the practice and teaching of music-making in the 21st century. The categories of Asian performance, intercultural performance and tradition each embody a considerable scope of work – it is not the intention to give a comprehensive overview of these topics. Rather, this conference seeks to introduce a variety of performance genres and debates to come to a deeper understanding of traditional performance practices in Asia, as well as examine performance artists who are forging systems of training with international aesthetics. Lastly, we investigate the notion of 'tradition' and how it relates to performance in contemporary global societies. The keynote speaker is Dr Anant Narkkong (Faculty of Music, Silapakorn University, Thailand). We invite scholars in all music disciplines and related fields to submit proposals (Papers: 20 mins; Lecture recitals: 40 mins; 10 mins discussion) relating to the themes of Western-influenced Asian performance, Asian-influenced performance traditions in the West, and intercultural performances and/or tradition.
