On 14 May 2026, the I.J. Paderewski Academy of Music in Poznań will host the Student and Doctoral Conference “Women Composers in the History of Music”, devoted to women’s creative output in music history and to contemporary research on their artistic legacy. The deadline for submitting proposals is 15 March 2026.
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the work of women composers, whose music long remained on the margins of music historiography. Contemporary musicology increasingly reflects on their achievements, the social and cultural contexts of their activity, and on ways of restoring this repertoire to concert programmes and music education curricula.
The conference is addressed primarily to undergraduate, master’s and doctoral students from various fields, particularly musicology, music theory, composition, and performance studies, as well as other disciplines within the humanities and the arts. The organisers invite proposals for papers addressing, among other topics, women composers throughout history, the social contexts of women’s artistic activity, the reception of their works, source and methodological issues, as well as contemporary reinterpretations of their legacy.
The aim of the conference is to create a space for the exchange of research experiences among early-career scholars and to encourage reflection on the place of women’s creative work in both music history and in contemporary musical culture.
