Abstract

This two-day symposium included lectures and lecture-recitals by researchers from nineteen different European and North American universities. Many of the presentations seemed to offer answers to the question “what can we do to promote equality in music”. This report documents the symposium through four such answers: we can re-evaluate history, fix structural problems, renew performance practices, and commission new works in equality-enhancing ways.
