Graduate Student Music Conferences
December 1, 2008 at 9:10 pm Ryan Raul Bañagale 2 comments
For the good of the nation, I’ve collated all incoming CFPs for graduate-student organized conferences. I’m sure there will be more…
I’d like to note that I’m particularly impressed by those schools that are also running CFCs (call for compositions). This is something our group of grad students has discussed for years, and may still pursue. However, being a department of music and not a school of music, we have no performance majors (undergrad or grad) on which to draw. We’ve alternatively thought about going with purely electronic music… Anyway, I’d be curious to hear from people on program those schools where compositions are a component of their conference to hear about their experiences with CFCs.
I encourage all graduate students out there to apply to these conferences. There is a wide range of topics so far this year, and I’m sure there will be more. If you haven’t given a paper before, in my experience, grad student conferences are a great place to jump in. Plus, giving a paper at any one of these means you’ll get to interact with their keynote about your own work–a nice bonus! (Stay tuned to find out who our exciting speaker will be!) And if aren’t going to submit a paper because you are either no longer qualified (aka PhD’ed) or just to hard at work on that next chapter (aka Ryan), I hope you’ll at least show up to one or more of these conferneces–especially if you live in the vacinity.
