The School of Music – Conservatorium will host the first ever Australian conference devoted to British Music.
The conference welcomes papers exploring any aspect of British music and musical life in any period. Papers are particularly encouraged which discuss forgotten or less-explored repertoire and composers. Without limiting the remit of the conference, areas of investigation may include British writings about music, reception of British music abroad, ‘foreign’ composers resident in Britain, music broadcasting and concert life in Britain, and intersections between music and literature, politics, modernism, postmodernism, nationalism, and colonialism.
Although it is expected to draw mainly on scholars from the fields of musicology, history and cultural studies, the conference hopes to bring together delegates from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds.
