Brief extract from the call for papers (deadline: Monday 1 November 2021):

2022 marks the 150th anniversary of Alexander Scriabin’s birth on 6th January 1872. Few composers of western art music have provided as much fascination. Scriabin offered a unique blend of esoteric mysticism, ethereal pianism, progressive harmonic technique, philosophically-driven composition, colour-music experiments, and more. For 150 years he has stimulated lively scholarly debate and new musical experiences. The Scriabin @ 150 conference marks this celebratory year as a chance to reflect on all aspects of the composer’s unique legacy. The conference will be held on Saturday 12th - Sunday 13th March, 2022 in Reading, UK, and will feature a keynote address from Professor Marina Frolova-Walker (Cambridge University), a piano recital from Anita D’Attillis, and other Scriabin-related events. We invite contributions for paper submissions, group panel discussions, lecture recitals, and research posters.
