Appel de conférences pour le colloque international « Contemporary Concepts—Future Visions », Univ. of Music and Performing Arts Vienna, 8-10 novembre 2023.

« The International Society for Contemporary Music (ISCM) is celebrating its centenary in 2022/23. In accordance with the founding idea of a musical association that transcends national borders for the promotion and dissemination of the most current tendencies of the musical present, 48 ISCM sections exist to date in countries and regions on all continents of the globe – with the sole exception of Antarctica – to implement these goals.

But what constitutes the musical present – what its most current tendencies are, and what future they point towards – is less certain today than ever before. The normative claim resonating in the founding ideas of the ISCM, that an international, borderless music can exist, can be explained in retrospect, but can hardly be redeemed in the present. A centenary review of the propagation of New Music thus also means an examination of the Society’s horizons of expectation and their respective (non-)fulfillment in art. »
