The Eighth Bethlehem
Conference on Moravian Music
Moravian Music: Celebrating the Anniversaries
of Christian Ignatius Latrobe and Theodor Liley
Clemens
October 9-10, 2008
The Bethlehem Conferences on Moravian Music are held biennially in October to celebrate the rich musical tradition of the Moravians; to view this music within Moravian culture in general and in relation to the broader musical culture of its time; and to cultivate interest in these studies in programs of interest to the general public, scholars, and performers. This year, the conference will be jointly meeting with the conference on Moravian History and Culture (October 10-11, 2008). Registration for both conferences will be online.
We are now accepting proposals for papers, lecture/demonstrations and performances. The deadline for proposals is May 15, 2008. Special consideration will be given to topics relating to Hymnody in 18th-century German-American Pietist Groups, Moravian composers Christian Ignatius Latrobe (1758-1836) and Theodor Liley Clemens (1858-1933), and Future Topics for Research in Moravian Music.
