International Conducting Studies Conference 2018 21St – 23Rd June St Anne’S College University of Oxford
International Conducting Studies Conference 2018 21st – 23rd June St Anne’s College University of Oxford International Conducting 2018 Studies Conference 21-23 June, St Anne’s College WELCOME It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to St Anne’s College and the Oxford Conducting Institute International Conducting Studies Conference 2018. The conference brings together 40 speakers from around the globe, presenting on a wide range of topics that demonstrate the rich and multifaceted realm of conducting studies. The discipline of conducting is at the core of a multitude of global musical endeavours, continually shaping musical practices and experiences in substantial ways. Scholars and practitioners have explored, and continue to explore, historical, philosophical, social and psychological aspects of conducting across a wide range of practices; The OCIICSC 2018 aims to bring together these diverse perspectives in the pursuit of a shared and more cohesive knowledge. While professional organizations and educational institutions have worked to develop the field through conducting master-classes and conferences focused on professional development, and academic researchers have sought to explicate various aspects of conducting through focussed studies, researchers and practitioners are rarely in dialogue about these findings and experiences. The OCIICSC 2018 seeks to redress this by continuing the conversation fostered at the 2016 conference, again bringing together practitioners and researchers to participate in productive and scholarly dialogue. We hope that this conference will provide a fruitful exchange of ideas and again serve as a catalyst for the further development of the topic of Conducting Studies. The OCI International Conducting Studies Conference 2018 Committee Dr Cayenna Dr John Traill Prof.
