Dissonance: Music and Globalization since Edison's Phonograph

*Workshop on Music, Jews and Globalization*
November 17 and 18
Center for Advanced Study
912 W. Illinois St., Urbana

Since the mid-nineteenth century, transformations in communications and
technology have accelerated the pace of encounter and exchange between
musical cultures. Participants in this workshop will come together in order
to share disciplinary perspectives on the reshaping of musical life brought
about by these changes since the late nineteenth century, concentrating on
the many-sided involvement of Jews as musicians, musicologists, and
entrepreneurs in the modern world. The workshop aims to bring together
approaches from multiple disciplines for mutual enrichment and critical
reflection; participants will be encouraged to contribute a broadly
reflective talk that will lead to discussions of issues of general
interest.

Invited  presenters include:
    Philip Bohlman (Music, University of Chicago)
    Annegret Fauser (Music, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill)
    Lars-Christian Koch (Music, University of Cologne)
    Harry Liebersohn (History, University of Illinois)
    James Loeffler (History, University of Virginia)
    William Kinderman (Musicology)
    Bruno Nettl (Musicology, University of Illinois)
    Michael Steinberg (History, Brown University)

This workshop is free and open to the public.
