\n Notation
is a rich\, mutable\, and complex area of musical practice\, in which com
position\, theorization\, writing\, and performance overlap and converge.
The “Time Stands Still” festival-conference brings together musicologists\
, performers\, composers\, and theorists to consider the nature of notatio
n in the early 21st century. “Time Stands Still” combines talks\, workshop
s\, discussions\, and performances. Paper sessions and roundtable discussi
ons will be held on both days\, all open to the general public.
\n “Time Stands Still” is part of “Music & Publi c Life\,” a year-long campus and community-wide exploration\, celebrating and studying the sounds\, words\, and spirit of music at the local\, natio nal\, and transnational levels through concerts\, workshops\, gatherings\, and courses\, all designed to cross disciplines.
