International New Beethoven Research Conference
CFP: Eleventh International New Beethoven Research Conference
Conference dates: November 5–6, 2025
Venue: AMS Minneapolis, Hyatt Regency
The Eleventh International New Beethoven Research Conference (NBR 11) will take place Wednesday, November 5 and Thursday morning, November 6, in Minneapolis, prior to the annual meeting of the American Musicological Society and Society for Music Theory. We are seeking proposals concerning new work connected with Beethoven. Presenters who did not give papers at the last New Beethoven Research Conference (NBR 10-Chicago) will be given preference. Talks accepted for the AMS conference itself may not also be read at this year's NBR.
We invite submissions from musicologists, theorists, performers, and scholars from other relevant disciplines to submit proposals for individual papers, groups of papers, lecture/demonstrations, or lecture/performances. Papers and presentations should not exceed 30 minutes. Additionally, ten minutes will be allotted for discussion.
Please submit an abstract of not more than 350 words as a PDF or Word attachment to Julia Ronge at ronge@beethoven.de by June 30, 2025. Please include a short biography (100 words) with your institutional affiliation or status as independent scholar / performer and indicate technical and/or keyboard requirements. Proposals should articulate the most important aspects of the research, discuss the relationship of the new work to previous scholarship, and describe the significance and potential future usefulness of the findings.
Program decisions will be announced no later than July 15.
