Call for Papers

The Organising Committee is pleased to announce that the 14th Biennial International Conference on Baroque Music will take place at Queen's University Belfast, from 30 June to 4 July 2010.

The theme of this conference-BACH-has been inspired by the symbolism of '14', Bach's numeric signature, and will commemorate the anniversaries of the deaths of Johann Sebastian (260th), Anna Magdalena (250th) and Maria Barbara (290th), as well as the 300th birthday of Wilhelm Friedemann. Participants may wish to incorporate the theme but proposals relating to ANY aspect of Baroque music are welcome.

Proposals are invited for:

1) individual papers of 20 minutes duration (followed by questions and discussion)
2) themed and round-table sessions of one and a half hours duration (including discussion).

Individual papers (1) and sessions with multiple participants (2) will be presented in simultaneous strands grouped by subject area. The subject of each strand 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 organisers.

The abstract should be preceded by information under the following
headings: NAME, INSTITUTION, POSTAL ADDRESS, PHONE, FAX, EMAIL ADDRESS.
