Nottingham Forum for Artistic Research (NottFAR) are delighted to announce a Call for Proposals for the inaugural Midlands New Music Symposium (May 8-9) and accompanying Nottingham New Music Weekend (May 7-10).
The symposium seeks to explore and celebrate the diversity of current contemporary music and creative sound practices in the fields of composition, performance, and technology. The two-day symposium will include a series of presentations, lecture-recitals, discussions, workshops, and concerts.
The symposium themes are open to let practitioners and scholars set the agenda. As such, the committee invites a broad range of proposals (outlined below) from individuals in and outside of academia.
