Call for Papers
Music and Reformation: A Symposium at Lambeth Palace Library, 16 September 2025
To accompany our upcoming exhibition Sing Joyfully: Exploring Music in Lambeth Palace Library, Lambeth Palace Library will be hosting a symposium on the subject of Music and Reformation. The symposium forms part of Lambeth Palace Library’s celebration of the 500th anniversary of the Arundel Choirbook (Lambeth Palace Library MS 1), a volume which has been held by the Library since the 17th century. Among other themes, we will foster discussion around music fragments recently discovered and identified in library collections.
The symposium will be a space for researchers, music practitioners and library and archive professionals to share knowledge and experience across professional fields.
We welcome proposals from people at all career stages, and from professional and amateur practice.
