North American
British Music
Studies Association (NABMSA) Fifth
25-28 juillet,
Biennial Conference University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Call for
Papers
NABMSA's
fifth conference will once again bring together scholars
and lovers of British music from various academic fields
and locales for three days of papers, discussions, and
musical performances. The 2012 conference will take
place from July 25-28 at the University of Illinois
at Urbana-Champaign.
The theme
of the conference is Anglo-American music and musical
relationships, and we are especially interested in papers
that explore these connections, such as those on British
brass bands in America, British-American folk traditions,
and other transatlantic collaborations and influences.
We also welcome papers on any topic related to British
music and musical life, in all geographical regions
of Britain, the Empire, and beyond Britain. Papers that
draw upon interdisciplinary or broader cultural contexts
are particularly welcome, as are papers on figures or
works celebrating important anniversary years in 2012
(e.g., Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, Frederick Delius, Tippet's
King Priam). We also encourage graduate students to
submit papers; the best student paper presented at the
NABMSA conference will be awarded the Temperley Prize.
Abstracts
of up to 500 words for 20 minute individual papers,
for paper sessions of up to four papers, or for lecture
recitals lasting 40-50 minutes should be sent by February
1, 2012, to Kendra Leonard, preferably by e-mail to
kendraprestonleonard at gmail.com. For additional information
about the conference, see www.nabmsa.org.
