Conferences & Symposia

On this page, we announce conferences that did not announce a CFP or whose deadlines have passed, yet we believe will be of interest to our audience, many of whom might like to attend. These conferences and symposia are held all over the globe, and perhaps one of them is taking place on your continent or even in your country.

Canada. International Conference. “Celebrating Haydn: His Times and Legacy” August 6-9, 2009 at York University, Toronto This international conference commemorates the bicentenary of Joseph Haydn’s death. It will create an opportunity to celebrate the music of Joseph Haydn and to reflect on his legacy, influence, and reception over the past two hundred years. With a prodigious output in all of the Classical era’s main genres, Haydn has been the focus of much serious scholarship starting during his lifetime and continuing to the present day. While there is already a wealth of extant research, the opportunity still exists to consider Haydn’s music and its reception even further. This conference will provide a forum for both internationally renowned Haydn scholars as well as emerging scholars to share their research in a lively and dynamic environment. As this is an interdisciplinary conference, the organizers welcome paper proposals from a wide range of disciplines including, but not limited to, musicology, performance practice, theatre and dance history, drama, and literature. The program for the conference will include evening concerts featuring the Penderecki String Quartet as well as fortepianist Malcolm Bilson. There will be four plenary speakers including Julian Rushton (Professor Emeritus, University of Leeds), Elaine Sisman (Anne Parsons Bender Professor of Music, Columbia University), and Sigrid T. Hooft (dramaturg, choreographer-stage director, International Opera Foundation Eszterháza, Belgium), as well as a Roundtable, and 96 conference papers. A banquet and off-campus events are also being planned. Conference papers of 25 minutes and 50-minute lecture-recitals will be followed by a discussion period. The official languages of the conference are English and French. For information and conference updates, see the conference website, http://www.brocku.ca/haydnconferenceyork.
