The deadline for proposals for the Seventh Biennial Confrence on Music in
Nineteenth-Century Britain is fast approaching - proposals should be
submitted by Friday, 5th December 2008.
The conference will be held at the Department of Music, University of
Bristol, with the support of CHOMBEC (the Centre for the History of Music in
Britain, the Empire and the Commonwealth), from Thursday, 23rd July to
Sunday, 26th July 2009.
Abstracts of up to 300 words are invited for individual papers of 20
minutes length, lecture recitals, themed panels or roundtables, and should
be sent, either by e-mail or snail mail, to Dr Guido Heldt (addresses below).
As 2009 will see ‘round’ anniversaries of the birth or death of George
Frideric Handel, Joseph Haydn, Felix Mendelssohn and Louis Spohr, we would
like to encourage papers on the relationship between these composers and
music in 19th-century Britain, and about musical cross-channel relationships
in the 19th century in general. This is by no means supposed to be a
conference theme, though, just an opportunity for a few sessions focusing on
such questions, and of course and as in previous years proposals on any
aspect of music in 19th-century Britain are welcome.
