Society of Musicology in Ireland 21st Annual Plenary Conference

Description

Welcome note | Conference Organising Committee

Welcome to the 21st Annual Plenary Conference of the Society for Musicology in Ireland. We are delighted to host the conference in a year that marks twenty years of the SMI and to do so in collaboration with the Irish-American Music Cultures symposium an IRC New Foundations research project led by TU Dublin lecturer, Dr Helen Lawlor.

The conference programme is wide and varied covering music and musical issues from the thirteenth century to the present. Equally wide are the places from which our speakers have travelled to be here: Ireland, UK, Europe and the USA. We hope you will enjoy the range of presentations and performances that fill the programme.

We warmly welcome our keynote speaker, Prof. Elaine Kelly, who for more than a decade has been a leading scholar of music and politics in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Germany, particularly in the German Democratic Republic. We look forward to hearing her insights on the musical interactions between the socialist bloc and postcolonial states.

Many people have supported the conference and we are grateful to the Council and President of the SMI, Prof. John O’Flynn; to Dr Paul McNulty, Head of Conservatoire; to Dr Kerry Houston, Head of Academic Studies; to the staff and students of the Conservatoire; and to everyone contributing to the conference whether presenting, performing, chairing, or those who have given administrative and technical support. We thank all our delegates for being here and hope that you will enjoy the scholarly and social aspects of what will undoubtedly be a stimulating conference.
