Welcome, Guest

The Historic Brass Society will be hosting an in-person Symposium July 10-14, 2024 in New York City, on "Innovations in Brass: Design, Manufacturing, Performance, Repertoire, Teaching." We are currently accepting proposals for presentations of up to 20 minutes, including papers, lecture-recitals, musical performances, and instrument demonstrations relating to these broad topics:

  • brass instrument design and development
  • manufacturing and publishing
  • repertoire, composers, and performers
  • historical performance practices
  • pedagogy and pedagogues

Proposals should include an abstract of 250 words, a 75-word biography, and email contact information. Performance proposals should include any specific instrument requirements (piano/organ/harpsichord, etc.). Shorter presentations are also welcome; please provide expected timing.

All proposals should be submitted by email to scoffin@historicbrass.org no later than November 15, 2023.
