Online Scientific Conference "Written music – materials and composers' legacies"

The Music Culture of Pomerania and Kuyavia and Folklore Research Group at the Faculty of Composition, Music Theory and Sound Engineering of the Feliks Nowowiejski Academy of Music in Bydgoszcz invites you to the scientific conference "Written music. Materials and Composers' Legacies”, which will be held online from 28 September to 2 October 2020.

Due to the situation caused by COVID-19, this year's conference, organised as part of the Regional Initiative of Excellence project, will have a slightly different character. All events, spread over several days, will be held online. Recorded materials will be available on the Facebook channel of the Academy of Music in Bydgoszcz (https://www.facebook.com/amuzbydgoszcz) and on the website: https://openmusicreview.art/. 

The first day of the session will be devoted to composers' legacies – the ways of their creation, processing and sharing. Izabela Zymer (Polish Music Information Centre POLMIC) will discuss the problems of archiving contemporary music on the example of materials from the Polish Composers' Union Archive. The second day of the conference will bring together specialists dealing with the oeuvre of Zygmunt Mycielski – we will hear papers on the composer's work, as well as his relationship with Andrzej Panufnik. The third day of the session will be filled with presentations on various types of historical legacies – from materials pertaining to Kazimierz Lubomirski, through valuable collections of polonaises preserved in Toruń, unique prints from the "Hosianum" collection in Olsztyn, to the legacy of Michał Rogowski. The last day of the conference will be devoted to new forms of music notation, including contemporary music notation in works of Raymond Murray Schafer, Hanna Kulenta or Ewa Synowiec.

The programme of the conference will also include accompanying events: meeting with Dr Daniel Cichy, special concert entitled "Inspiring notation, inspiring music" and presentation of the music notation software "Finale without secrets".
