The Post-1945 Music Analysis Interest Group is a discursive space for scholars of music after 1945, with an emphasis on the modernist, experimental, and avant-garde. Through its annual meetings and online communications, the group aims to strengthen, support, and develop its members’ ideas and sense of community. It also seeks to bring attention to and foster scholarship on post-1945 music both within the Society for Music Theory and in music scholarship at large.

      Hello, all!

      I hope this announcement will be of particular interest to the post-1945 interest group.

      The Eastman School of Music invites applications for the tenth edition of its summer study-abroad program in Paris (https://summer.esm.rochester.edu/course/paris/), offered in conjunction with IRCAM’s ManiFeste-2023 festival of contemporary music and the ManiFeste Academy.Theory 402a (Theory and Analysis of Contemporary Music) is a three-credit course designed for graduate students and advanced undergraduates: theorists, composers, musicologists, and performers are all welcome.

      Course topics will include spectral music, microtonality, computer-aided composition, and live electronics.Students will attend classes taught by Prof. Robert Hasegawa (McGill University) from June 5 to 16, then will participate in the IRCAM Academy as auditors from June 19 to 30. Participants will be provided with tickets to all festival concerts (typically fifteen to twenty events), featuring music by composers including Gérard Grisey, György Ligeti, Kaija Saariaho, and Rebecca Saunders. Class sessions focusing on music performed in the festival will be supplemented by masterclasses, guest lecturers, open rehearsals, and field trips; students will also have free time to explore other Parisian musical and cultural resources.

      Students applying to the course should have completed at least four semesters of collegiate-level music theory or the equivalent; previous study of post-tonal theory is recommended but not required. The course will be taught in English, and knowledge of French is not necessary. For more information, tuition and fee schedules, and an online application form, please visit the program website: https://summer.esm.rochester.edu/course/paris/

      The application deadline is Wednesday, February 1, 2023, though applications may be accepted after this date if there is remaining space in the class.Feel free to contact me (robert.hasegawa@mcgill.ca) with any questions… and please pass this announcement along to any students or colleagues who might be interested!

      With all best wishes,

      Bob
