In both the past and the present these have included productive collaborations and shared visions, but also genuine confrontations. The symposium will address not just the overlaps between the activities of performers and scholars and between the different types of knowledge that undergird both musical performance and the performative act of doing research, but also the disagreements, tensions, and failures that may arise when bringing these practices into dialogue. </span><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Through this symposium we hope to question and break down the professional boundaries that continue to separate us – disciplines, institutions, musical genres, and attitudes. One of the explicit goals is to reach out to a broader audience and to open up a wider dialogue within the musical community.</span></p><p class="bodytext" style="font-size: 13.3333px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; line-height: 18px;"></p><p class="bodytext" style="font-size: 13.3333px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; line-height: 18px;"><br></p><p class="bodytext" style="font-size: 13.3333px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; line-height: 18px;"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">We invite proposals for <strong>fully-formed sessions</strong>, either of 60 minutes, 90 minutes, or 120 minutes.
