All are welcome.
RSVP not required.
This symposium is the culminating event for Contemporary Music Studies I & II, a course series in which students design, generate and carry out original research projects across all dimensions of musical thought and practice. Please join us to celebrate their incredible work, which engages themes around identity, family and personal transformation; explores music’s relationships to work, leisure and happiness; excavates and critiques institutional histories; celebrates subcultural communities; and dramatizes dance, performance, listening and artistic aspiration in action. During the symposium, students will give 10-minute presentations on their research projects, followed by Q&A. Please bring headphones, a playback device (computer, tablet, smart phone), and your dancing shoes! All are welcome.
