CALL FOR PAPERS
International Society for the Promotion and Research of Wind Music

Proposals for papers or lecture-performances are invited for the 18th international conference on wind music of the International Society for the 
Promotion and Research of Wind Music (IGEB) to be held in Echternach, Luxemburg, July 10-15, 2008.

The deadline for proposals is January 15, 2008.

Papers focusing on the theme of the conference, "Wind (Band) Music: Regional traditions - worldwide perspectives," 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.

Proposals of no more than 250 words should be sent no later than January 15, 2008 to Doris Schweinzer, Institut f?r Musikethnologie (IGEB), 
Leonhardstrasse15, A-8010 Graz, Austria (doris.schweinzer at kug.ac.at). Registration materials and further information about the conference may be 
found at www.igeb.net.

The conference, in Echternach, the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg, will be supported by wind band concerts that will provide the international guests 
with some impressions of the rich Luxembourg band tradition. 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. 
The winning dissertation will be published by IGEB.
