CALL FOR PAPERS
The 2001 Maryland Handel Festival & Conference, which will feature
performances of Theodora (Friday, May 4) and Jephtha (Sunday, May
6), marks the conclusion of the Festival's twenty-year project of
performing all Handel's English oratorios in order of composition.
To celebrate this achievement, we are planning a conference that we
hope will prove to be one of the largest gatherings of Handelians in
recent years.
The conference will have no "theme" per se. Instead, we hope that
scholars will share what they feel is their most interesting and/or
promising recent research. The conference will hopefully thus serve
as a guide to the future of Handel studies.
The Festival & Conference will take place May 3-6, 2001 in the new,
state-of-the-art Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center at the University
of Maryland and will feature approximately four conference sessions.
Scholars are invited to send abstracts of no more than 300 words to the
following address:
Richard King
MHF Program Committee
School of Music
University of Maryland
College Park, MD 20742
E-mail: [log in to unmask]
Abstracts should arrive no later than January 31, 2001 for full
consideration.
Brad Leissa
Secretary/Treasurer, American Handel Society
