DS-CEMSP 9TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
WOMEN AND MUSIC IN THE EARLY MODERN AGE
CALL FOR PAPERS
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
WOMEN AND MUSIC IN THE EARLY MODERN AGE
Queluz National Palace, July 2nd - 4th, 2021
Organization: Divino Sospiro – Centro de Estudos Musicais Setecentistas de Portugal
Scientific Committee:
Cristina Fernandes, Giuseppina Raggi, Iskrena Yordanova,
Ricardo Bernardes, José Camões, Francesco Cotticelli, Paologiovanni Maione
The 9th international conference at the Queluz National Palace organized by DS-CEMSP aims to
investigate the role of women in the musical and theatrical worlds of the early modern age, with
special reference to the 17th and 18th centuries.
Theatrical practices favoured opportunities and emancipation processes which played significant
roles in the imagery of and the stage production themselves. It is equally important to mention the
patronage and the encouragement given to the performing arts by female sovereigns and nobles,
who intended to promote the dialogue and the reflection between different contexts. Differences can
be found in the educational methods, distinctions amid theory and practice or between the amateur
and the professional milieu, yet they often merged to produce events destined to leave their mark on
history.
The conference promotes research into the careers of women as impresarios, singers, actresses,
composers, no matter how resounding their activity was in their heydays. Emphasis is also placed
on their travels, contacts, and repertoires, and on the strategies adopted by female patronage in order
to support the organization (and the memory) of theatrical and musical events throughout the
continent.
TOPICS:
Session proposals will be accepted as well: a maximum of three or four papers will be taken into
consideration, and the session should not exceed 1h30.
A selection of the presented papers will be published in our book series Cadernos de Queluz by
Hollitzer Verlag (Vienna). (http://www.hollitzer.at/de/programm/uebersicht/programm/speculaspectacula.
