CALL FOR PAPERS
International Society for the Promotion and Research of Wind Music. Proposals for papers or lecture-performances are invited for the 19th international conference on wind music of the International Society for the Promotion and Research of Wind Music (IGEB) to be held in Oberschützen, Austria, Thursday, July 22 to Tuesday, July 27, 2010. The conference celebrates the twentieth anniversary of the Pannonische Forschungsstelle of the Institute Oberschützen, Kunstuniversität Graz.
The deadline for proposals is January 29, 2010.
Papers focusing on the theme of the conference, "Wind Music Research and Musicology" are especially invited, but papers on any aspect of wind music and research in progress are welcome. The lectures can represent the entire field of humanities in relation to wind music — not only musicology, but also ethnology, philosophy, sociology, and educational sciences. Presentations should not exceed 20 minutes, leaving 10 minutes for discussion. Papers will be considered for future publication in the Alta Musica series.
Registration materials and further information about the conference may be found at www.igeb.net.
Oberschützen is a lovely little town near the Hungarian border in Burgenland, Austria. In addition to concerts and special events, side trips will include a visit to Raiding, the birthplace of Franz Liszt, and Esterházy, the home of Franz Joseph Haydn.
A specially selected panel of experts, having reviewed dissertations submitted for consideration, will award the Fritz Thelen Prize to the scholar having completed an outstanding doctoral dissertation in the field of wind music, who will present a paper on his/her research.
