The Cornell Center for Historical Keyboards, co-sponsored by the Westfield Center for Historical Keyboard Studies, invites proposals for recitals, talks and innovative presentations from performers, scholars, organologists, builders, and technicians for an international festival to be held at Cornell University from August 6-10, 2025. We particularly encourage individual and collaborative proposals that combine insights drawn from scholarship, performance, and organology and examine the ways in which pianos have generated, reflected, and modulated musical thought and behavior.
Proposals must include a 250-word description, a bio, and (for performers) a link to an audio or video recording lasting at least 15 minutes. These items must be submitted via this form by September 30, 2024.
