Call for Papers and Performances

Performance Practice: Issues and Approaches

The Department of Music of Rhodes College invites proposals for papers 
and performances for a conference on “Performance Practice: Issues and 
Approaches,” to be held 4-6 March 2007. The conference will feature 
scholarly papers and roundtables on issues related to performance 
practice as well as performances and lecture recitals illustrating 
approaches to historically informed performance. Proposals on a wide 
range of topics are encouraged, including, but not limited to, issues 
relating to specific composers, geographic areas, and periods of music 
history from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century, performance 
practice of repertoires outside the traditional canon of Western music, 
and the impact of technology on performance practice. It is expected 
that papers selected for the conference will be published.

A highlight of the conference will be the keynote address by Christopher 
Hogwood, one of the leading figures in historically informed 
performance. This address will constitute the Rhodes College 2007 
Springfield Lecture in Music. A performance of Mendelssohn’s St. Paul by 
the Rhodes Singers, Rhodes MasterSingers, soloists, and members of the 
Memphis Symphony Orchestra will also be featured as part of the conference.

Abstracts of papers appropriate for the conference should be sent by 
mail or (preferably) e-mail to:
