ARVO PÄRT AND CONTEMPORARY SPIRITUALITY CONFERENCE
BOSTON UNIVERSITY
26 - 27 MARCH 2010
CALL FOR PAPERS
Conference website: http://www.bu.edu/apcsc/
To celebrate the 75th birthday of Arvo Pärt (born 11 September, 1935), Boston University is hosting a conference entitled ‘Arvo Pärt and Contemporary Spirituality’. Jointly promoted by the School of Theology and the School of Music, with cooperation from CAS/GRS and the Boston University Humanities Foundation, the conference will examine Pärt’s music using and developing cross-disciplinary methodologies drawing on media studies, theological studies and different analytical approaches to music. By working on issues of interpretation it endeavors to bridge the traditional gap between scholars and performers, and it directly addresses the largest group of people who come across Pärt’s music: the audience.
Abstracts of around 300 words are invited on any topic related to Pärt’s music. Papers will be 25 minutes long followed by a 10 minutes Q&A. Please send your abstract by 1 October 2009 to the conference administrator (details below). Please include your name, contact information and institutional affiliation (if any). Abstracts will be reviewed anonymously. Conference sessions will be grouped around themes which might include: Pärt’s life and works, analyzing and defining ‘tintinnabula’, Pärt and contemporary culture, Pärt and contemporary spirituality, Pärt and film music.
Timetable:
1 October 2009 Abstracts due
1 November 2009 Notification of successful abstracts
1 December 2009 Finalization of conference program
