If you are interested in singing and the power of song.....the place to be in the summer of 2009 is Newfoundland and Labrador. Indulge your musical, creative and scholarly spirit and join us for an exciting symposium in Canada's most eastern province! The Phenomenon of Singing International Symposium VII Committee has selected 85 papers and presentations from around the world! It all happens July 2-5, 2009, at Memorial University in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Speakers and Presenters Our keynotes speakers are Thomas Mapfumo (Zimbabwe), Howard Goodall (England), Paul Hillier (England/Estonia), Avner Itai (Israel), Laurier Fagnan (Canada), and Wendy Nielsen (Canada). In addition to these invited scholars and artists, over 80 papers and presentations represent ongoing research in countries such as Australia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Israel, Kenya, Nigeria, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom, United States, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, and Canada. Research related to the "phenomenon of singing" will encompass focus areas of artistic, cultural, sociological, historical, pedagogical, compositional, physiological, psychological....and beyond! Power of Song A sub-focus for Symposium VII is the power of song. Compelled and inspired by current world events, Symposium VII provides a special forum for a deep and rich exploration of the power of song as it might be manifested in local and global ways, and in varied political, socio-cultural, religious, and musical contexts. A diversity of presentation formats will include papers, lecture-recitals, lecture demonstrations, poster sessions, panel and roundtable discussions, and cameo performances.
