University of Évry Paris-Saclay (France), April 10-11, 2025
2025 will mark the 100th anniversary of Georges Delerue’s birth. Hosted by the University of Evry, this international conference pays tribute to one of the most prolific composers of French cinema, who won three César awards for his scores to Préparez vos mouchoirs (Bertrand Blier, 1978), L’Amour en fuite (François Truffaut, 1979) and Le Dernier Métro (Truffaut, 1980). Despite the existence of a few biographies, the musician is still little represented in academic literature. The conference aims to reflect on existing research on the composer and to lay new foundations for the study of his work.
Proposals of no more than 400 words should be submitted to Chloé Huvet (chloe.huvet@univ-evry.fr) and Jérôme Rossi (jerome.rossi@univ-lyon2.fr) by September 30, 2024. Paper proposals must include a title, an abstract, and a short biography. The languages accepted for the conference are English and French.
Full details about the conference, the topics for paper proposals, and the committee are available in the CFP below and on the conference website.
