Nineteenth-Century American Orchestras

Music in Gotham, in collaboration with the New York Philharmonic,
invites proposals for presentations on orchestras and their role in
American life in the nineteenth century to be held on January 17-19,
2008 at the Graduate Center, City University of New York. We encourage
abstracts on many different types of American ensembles: concert
orchestras, theater orchestras, festival orchestras, hotel and resort
orchestras, and amateur orchestras. Proposals on other aspects of
orchestras and orchestral culture, including training of personnel,
programming, touring, patronage, finances, labor relations, audiences,
performance practices, role in the community, etc., particularly in New
York City, are also welcome. Abstracts of up to 250 words should be sent
to MusicinGotham at gc.cuny.edu by June 30, 2007.
