Conference announcement / Call for papers

ROMANIA - ENESCU -  EUROPE

Festival commemorating the 50th anniversary of the death of George 
Enescu, organized by the Barry S. Brook Center for Music Research and 
Documentation of the City University of New York Graduate Center
and the Romanian Cultural Institute of New York, co-sponsored by the 
Mannes College of Music

1-2 December 2005

The two-day festival with conference and concerts will commemorate 
George Enescu (1881-1955), the great Romanian composer, violinist, 
conductor, and teacher. Throughout his life Enescu maintained a close 
relationship with New York, returning there to teach, perform as a 
violinist, and conduct the New York Philharmonic; in 1936 he was one of 
the candidates considered to replace Toscanini as its permanent 
conductor. After World War II he gave lessons at the David Mannes School 
of Music.

The conference, which will take place at The Graduate Center of the City 
University of New York, will examine the political and cultural context 
of Enescu's activities in his native country, Europe, and the United 
States.  Proposals are invited for individual papers on the following 
topics:

Enescu - violinist, composer, conductor, pedagogue

Romanian modernism of the 1920s and 1930s in a European context

Enescu in the musical life of Romania, France, and the United States

Enescu and his contemporaries in East Central Europe

European modernism of the first half of the 20th century

Transformations of folk idiom in art music
