Call for Papers and Performances
Proposal submission deadline: November 20, 2017
The 7th annual meeting of the Historical Keyboard Society
of North America (HKSNA) will be held from Wednesday, May 9 to
Saturday, May 12, 2018 at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, MI.
The meeting’s theme, "Professionals and Amateurs: The
Spirit of Kenner und Liebhaber in Keyboard Composition, Performance
and Instrument Building," hopes to inspire exploration of an idea that
has been important in the rebirth of historical performance and
instrumental design and construction. Selected instruments from the
University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre & Dance, the Stearns
Collection, and private collections will be featured in this meeting.
Three and a half days of morning and afternoon events
(Wednesday afternoon to Saturday) will include papers,
lecture-recitals, mini-recitals, and an exhibition of publications,
recordings, and the work of contemporary instrument makers. A
highlight of this meeting will be a retrospective concert featuring
selections from award-winning compositions from the past nine Aliénor
International Harpsichord Composition Competitions over the past
thirty-five years. Proposals for individual presentations or for
themed sessions with multiple participants on any subject relating to
historical keyboard instruments, their use and repertories from the
Renaissance to the twenty-first century, are welcome.
