Faculty of Music, University of Toronto
Deadline for Proposals: Friday 17 February 2017, by 5:00 p.m. EST

Other Conference Details

The conference coincides with the Canadian Opera Company's new, all-Canadian production of Harry Somers' and Mavor Moore's centennial-commissioned opera Louis Riel, which runs in Toronto from 20 April through 13 May, and with the interdisciplinary symposium "Hearing Riel," which will take place at the University of Toronto on Friday, 21 April. Open to the public, this symposium features a roster of distinguished speakers who will investigate the opera, its fraught historical subject matter, and its political implications for today, in the context Truth and Reconciliation and the Canadian Sesquicentennial. For further information about performances of the opera and the symposium, please see the websites of the Canadian Opera Company and of the University of Toronto's Canada 150 initiative (details are forthcoming).

Local Information will be made available closer to the time of the conference.
