CFP: Outside the Theatre, Oviedo, 23-25 May 2024
AMS-Announce
This conference wishes to explore the unconventional spaces where concerts or musical evenings were organized in the 19th century. Outside theatres and concert halls, in fact, there were many private or public spaces where music resonated in cities all over Europe. The spaces could be outdoors, such as gardens or municipal parks, spas or swimming pools, but also squares or fairs. In all these cases, the study of the acoustics of the place influenced repertoires and settings. But even in the case of indoor spaces, the acoustical context could vary considerably, as concerts were also realised under circus tents, in brothels, casinos, or on ships. These unusual spaces could create events in themselves, and our intention is to study all the possible implications in a comprehensive examination of the circumstances in 19th-century European cities. The committee encourages the submission of proposals in the following thematic areas.
