Study Day: The Art Song Platform – Traditions and Current Practices
Proposals are invited for The Art Song Platform – Traditions and Current Practices, a study day at Goldsmiths, University of London on May 10th, 2019. While not excluding any strands of research in the genre of art song, the emphasis will be placed on performance, especially seeking insights that might emerge from a dialogue between academia and performance institutions. The event aims to bring together scholars and performing artists, particularly encouraging applications from PhD students and early career scholars/performers.
The event, free to attendees and open to the public, will consist of panels with individual papers, research/performance reports and lecture recitals. The study day will end with an hour-long roundtable closing session covering the main topics of the event.
Presentations will be welcomed on a range of topics including, but not limited to:
* Art song – history, analysis, cultural contexts, performance and performers, reception, embodiment and identity
* Performance of the repertoire today (industry, programming, different contexts, settings, formats and media, collaboration with non-musicians)
* Composition and performance of new repertoire, including collaboration between composers and performers
Duration of presentations:
* Individual papers: 20 minutes, followed by 10 minutes of discussion.
* Research/performance reports: 10 minutes, followed by 10 minutes of discussion/workshop on programming. This format will provide a platform for showcasing “works-in-progress” and allow for more participants with greater scope for discussion.
* Lecture recitals: 20 minutes, followed by 10 minutes for questions from the audience.
