We are interested in papers that engage broadly with musical culture in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, as well as with the reception of German music in other transnational settings. We are equally interested in papers that engage the Austro-German classical tradition as papers dealing with contemporary music-making in German-speaking Europe such as hip-hop and jazz.

Papers can engage with composers, musicians, styles, performance events, institutions, orchestras, philosophies, discourses, etc. Lastly, we encourage presenters to reflect on how the study of music can contribute more generally to the study of German history.

Please send your abstract (max 300 words), together with a short paragraph summarising your CV, institutional affiliation, and research interests, to germanhistoryworkshop@gmail.com by 13th January 2023.

The German History Research Group is a hybrid online and in-person seminar that brings together scholars working on German history (in the broadest sense), offering them an opportunity to broaden their network, present their research and exchange ideas. It is funded by the DAAD Cambridge Hub. Seminars will take place between January and March 2023.
