Re-Visions: MSA/NZMS Conference 2010

The conference will be a joint conference with the Musicological Society of Australia. It will be held at the University of Otago, 2 - 4 December 2010 and will be hosted by the University's Department of Music.

The theme of the conference is re-Visions. In music research we develop new visions, and re-visions, about and around the music we study. As professional scholars we also create new visions for our discipline. As musicians engaged in composition or performance, we create or re-create 'visions' in sound. The theme re-Vision is designed to provide a framework within which we can share our current work in music research.

The keynote speakers will be:

• Aaron Corn, Associate Professor at the School of Music, Australian National University, who has recently been awarded a prestigious Future Fellowship, the first in any field of the Creative Arts, by the Australian Research Council (ARC).
• Denis Dutton, Professor of Philosophy at the University of Canterbury, author of The Art Instinct (Bloomsbury Press/OUP, 2009). (TBC)
