CHARM Symposium
14 - 16 April 2005
Royal Holloway, University of London, UK

Sign up now! Deadline: ***30 November 2004***

The first Symposium held by the AHRB Research Centre for the History and
Analysis of Recorded Music will be held at Royal Holloway, Egham on 14-16
April, 2005.

The topic will be comparative perspectives in the study of
recordings drawn from 'art' musicology, popular musicology,
ethnomusicology, and interdisciplinary performance studies.


Participants
will include Alf Bjornberg (University of Gotenborg), Allan Moore
(University of Surrey), John Cowley, Michelle Kisliuk (University of
Virginia), Peter Johnson (Birmingham Conservatoire), Philip Auslander
(Georgia Tech), Richard Middleton (University of Newcastle), Robert Philip
(Open University), Stephanie Jordan (Roehampton University), and Susan
Melrose (Middlesex University).

The Symposium is envisaged as a focussed, residential event rather than a
large conference, with a high proportion of discussion and a sense of
continuity and development over the three days. (The one exception will be
on the morning of 15 April, when there will be a joint session with the
British Forum for Ethnomusicology/AHRB Research Centre for Cross-Cultural
Music and Dance Performance.) For this reason, while we invite
participation from interested individuals, we are doing so on the basis of
an inclusive residential package, as follows (all prices in pounds
sterling)

2 nights: GBP141.69
3 nights: GBP208.92
4 nights: GBP276.15

The Symposium will begin at lunchtime on 14 April and finish shortly after
lunch on 16 April, so a 2-night package will be adequate for most UK
residents.

Accommodation is limited, so if you would like to register for the
Symposium, please contact the Centre Coordinator, Carol Chan
( carol.chan@rhul.ac.uk ) as soon as possible, and certainly no later than
***30 November 2004***. We will accept applications beyond this date but
only if accommodation is still available.
