The 13th Biennial Conference on Baroque Music will be hosted by the 
University of Leeds School of Music from Wednesday 2 July to Sunday 6 
July 2008 inclusive.  Proposals are invited for:

1) Individual papers of 20 minutes duration (followed by questions 
and discussion). Speakers will be grouped into sessions of three or 
four papers in related areas.

2) Round-table sessions of one and a half hours, including discussion.

The deadline for receipt of abstracts is 14 January 2008. Proposals 
in any area of Baroque music are welcome.

The organisers anticipate that individual papers (1) and some 
sessions with multiple participants (2) will be presented in 
simultaneous strands, grouped by subject areas. Those areas will be 
determined by the nature of the proposals received.  Individuals may 
submit one proposal in the form of an abstract of not more than 250 
words (individual papers), or not more than 350 words (group 
sessions).  Acceptance of a proposal will be at the discretion of the 
organizers. The abstract should be preceded by information under the 
following headings: NAME, INSTITUTION, POSTAL ADDRESS, PHONE, FAX, 
EMAIL ADDRESS.
