On November 20-21, 2025, the Historic Brass Society, in conjunction with the Conservtoire National de Lyon, will hold an International Conference celebrating the 200th Anniversary of the births of Jean-Baptiste Arban and Julius Kosleck. It will take place at the CNSMD in Lyon, France and will include concerts, papers, lecture recitals, and round-table discussions –one focused on related organology and one on pedagogy.
We are accepting proposals, due April 15, for papers, lecture recitals and performances of up to 20 minutes, followed by 10 minutes Q & A, that relate to this anniversary, with topics including Biographical research on related figures or ensembles, Pedagogy, Repertoire, Composers, Organology, and Social Histories and Contexts. Additional details available here.
