Transatlantic Connections - 13 November 2009 at 8pm, preceded by a reception beginning at 7pm
To celebrate the new contract between the Royal Musical Association and Routledge for publication of the Journal of the Royal Musical Association from 2009, we invite you to an evening panel of four papers at this year's Annual Meeting of the American Musicological Society in Philadelphia. Our chosen theme is 'Transatlantic Connections', highlighting a developing research area that links forthcoming articles in the Journal and recent publications such as Nicholas Temperley's Bound for America: Three British Composers (University of Illinois Press, 2008) and Michael Pickering's Blackface Minstrelsy in Britain (Ashgate, 2008). Each of our speakers explores an aspect of musical-cultural exchange between Europe and North America in relation to a broad range of musics from over two centuries, and the session also gives an opportunity for us to update the music-academic community on recent key developments for the Journal.
