University of Michigan, Ann Arbor - 58th Annual Organ Conference

Women have established distinguished careers as performers, composers,
educators, and builders of the organ, harpsichord, and carillon. They have
faced unique challenges in their professions and forged new paths, from the
harpsichord works of Élisabeth Jacquet de La Guerre to the prolific
recording career of Jeanne Demessieux to women keyboard builders today. The
importance and scope of women's contributions, systematically overlooked,
has yet to be adequately reevaluated or put in dialogue with current gender
issues in the professions.

The University of Michigan invites proposals exploring women’s impact on
the disciplines of organ, harpsichord, carillon and sacred music, including
both historical studies and the presentation of new works. Proposals for
presentations in diverse formats are encouraged, including performances,
lectures and lecture-recitals. The conference topic is inclusive of all
individuals who identify as female or non-binary. Proposals are invited
from persons of all gender identities.

Proposed events should be from 50 to 55 minutes in length. A stipend of
$700 is available for each presentation selected, which may be shared by
collaborating presenters. Presenters will be responsible for their own
travel and lodging arrangements. Available performance instruments include
the E.M. Skinner/Aeolian-Skinner organ in Hill Auditorium, the Fisk organ
in the style of Gottfried Silbermann in Blanche Anderson Moore Hall, the
carillons in Burton Tower and Lurie Tower, and a variety of harpsichords.

Deadline for proposals: February 1, 2018
