colloquium: duration & durabilityConvened by ALISTAIR NOBLE

As governments everywhere tilt towards being more markedly authoritarian and are increasingly aligned with the interests of the holders of large-scale capital, the composition of long-form works seems a fundamentally transgressive practice. This colloquium will investigate this political, social and musical deviance, asking: what is the function of the ĬŅĹč�ƵŅųĩſ�ƵʱƋ�ĩĜĹÚŸ�Ņü�ƋåĹŸĜŅĹ�±ĹÚ�ÏŅĹāĜÏƋ�±ųå�ĜĹƴŅĬƴåÚØ�åĜƋĘåų�ĜĹ�Ïųå±ƋĜŅĹØ�ŞåųüŅųĵ±ĹÏåØ�Ņų�ĬĜŸƋåĹĜĹčſ�±ĹÚ�ĘŅƵ�ĵƚÏĘ�does the long work tap into pre-capitalist vestiges of religion, rite and mysticism?

tickets

ABC Classic FM will

broadcast much of

the festival, ensuring

that listeners who

are unable to make it

along in person, can

nonetheless enjoy the

spoils of BIFEM 2014.

Tickets can be purchased online at www.bifem.com.au, by calling 03 5434 6100 or in person at The Capital ÆŅƻ�ŅþÏåØ�ĂLj��ĜåƵ�Street, Bendigo. Many ticketed events have strictly limited numbers, so book early to avoid disappointment. Free events are unticketed and patrons are not guaranteed entry beyond venue capacity. Latecomers will not be admitted until there is a suitable break in the performance.
