Haydn & Landon Conference
Perspectives on Haydn Scholarship in Celebration of H. C. Robbins Landon
October 1-2, 2009 at Boston University
To celebrate the bicentenary of Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) and to honor H. C. Robbins Landon's extensive and pioneering work on the composer, the Department of Musicology at Boston University in collaboration with the Howard Gotlieb Archival Research Center will hold an international conference from 1-2 October 2009 on the campus of Boston University.
In addition to papers and a keynote address by Dr. Otto Biba of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna, the conference will include performances of works by Haydn that are associated with the editorial work of Landon, as well as an exhibit drawn from the extensive collection of Haydn prints, manuscripts, and archival material recently donated by Landon to his alma mater, Boston University.
The focus of the conference will be to examine the scholarly legacy of H. C. Robbins Landon, with a specific focus on his contributions to Haydn research and biography.
