The 2011 ALS Bicentennial Festival will be held at the Hugh Hodgson School of Music, February 17-19, 2011. New festival website is here. Watch for added details in the coming weeks, but the registration form is updated and ready to submit.
The title of this year’s festival is Liszt and the Future. One look at the program and you can tell it is going to be a weekend of great lectures and performances.
Om March 18 in Edge Recital Hall beginning at 9:30 a.m. the Musicology/Ethnomusicology Area of the Hodgson School of Music and the Musicology Ethnomusicology Student Association (MESA) present the 2010 Music Research Symposium.
The day of speakers, panel discussions and presentations shows the diversity of expertise in school of music and will be a point of interest for music scholars as well as casual observers. The symposium is free and open to the public.
A full list speakers and topic is available at Music Research Symposium 2010 Program.
If you’re walking the corridors of the Hodgson School over the next three days and you love the saxophone, you’re in heaven. They’re everywhere. Performing, rehearsing, giving lessons, taking lessons, judging, being judged, warming up, sitting out front of the building in the sun… all the fun of being serious performer is operational and in action around the music school these days, all part of the biennial NASA Conference going on here.
The fun continues tonight with a performance by the UGA Wind Symphony and Wind Ensemble which I am told will feature no less than five saxophone concertos.
7:30 p.m.
Hodgson Concert Hall.
Free.
