From June 28th – July 1st, Prof. Geoffrey Burleson will be at the EuroMAC 9 Conference (The 9th European Music Analysis Conference) in Strasbourg, France, to offer a presentation on Proto-Impressionism in Piano Music on Camille Saint-Saëns. The conference, which takes place every two years, is organized by the University of Strasbourg’s GRÉAM Research Center, the French Society for Music Analysis, and the Institute for Musicological Research in Paris. The presentation is connected both to a book chapter that Prof. Burleson is writing for “The Many Faces of Camille Saint-Saëns”, to be published by Brepols in Belgium in 2018, and his ongoing solo CD series of the complete piano works of Saint-Saëns for the Naxos Grand Piano label, with four volumes released thus far.
