Musical Topics and Performance Practice: A Symposium
June 1-2
Melbourne Conservatorium of Music - Ian Potter Southbank Centre

This Symposium explores the interactions between musical topics and performance practice and the implications of topical awareness in an eloquent performance.
The keynote, in the form of a lecture-recital, will be delivered by Dr. Julian Hellaby, editor of the recently published Musical Topics and Musical Performance (Routledge, 2023), which will be launched at the symposium. In addition to papers on specific case studies by scholars and performers working on various musical genres and time periods, there will be plenary presentations given by A/Prof Janice Dickensheets and Prof Melanie Plesch, respectively. The Symposium will also feature interactive Q&A sessions between presenters and participants.
