Perspectives on Musical Improvisation - an international conference 10th-13th September 2012 Faculty of Music, University of Oxford
Improvisation is arguably the most widely distributed form of musical practice - and yet remains the least studied or understood. Indeed, even the boundaries of what is or is not regarded as improvisation remain unclear. This conference will address the many faces of improvisation from a wide range of disciplinary perspectives - historical, psychological, ethnomusicological, analytical, technological, sociological, organological, and pedagogical. Over the course of four days, the conference will include papers, practical sessions, panel discussions, poster presentations and musical performances.
A formal call for papers will be issued in September 2011, with a deadline for proposals by the end of 2011.
The conference is part of the research programme of the AHRC-funded Centre for Musical Performance as Creative Practice (CMPCP)
