Spring 2007 Meeting

The Spring Meeting of the Capital Chapter of the American Musicological Society, will be held at the University of Baltimore on Saturday, April 28. Our vice-chair Anna Harwell Celenza has graciously invited all meeting attendees to a reception in honor of the Lowens Award Finalists at her Baltimore home after the meeting (she lives about two miles from the University of Baltimore). Please RSVP at least two days before the meeting directly to her at ahc27@georgetown.edu.

More details about the meeting, including directions shall be sent to the Listserv and posted on the Chapter website as the meeting approaches. In the meantime here are some basic directions from our host Daniel Page. The program can be found here.

“We’re right across the street from Penn Station (fast MARC train from Washington-Union; Amtrak; Baltimore subway [sic]) and 2 blocks from the Light Rail (useful for lots of Maryland folks). Parking will also be easy.

There are a zillion good/interesting/affordable restaurants within walking distance. Also within easy walking distance are Peabody, the Walters, MICA (Maryland Institute College of Art), and the Eubie Blake Museum.”

A Letter from the Chair:

A new email list for the chapter has been set up using Google Groups. This new listserv will be much easier to manage than the current one and also offers the advantage that members will be able to read old messages online. Currently the group is restricted, meaning that you must be added by the manager, and that only members will be able to read the messages online. It is, however, set up so that any member can post a message. To be added to the new listserv, please send an email to Andrew Weaver at weavera@cua.edu and include in the body of the message the email address (or addresses) that you would like to be subscribed. If you haven't received a welcome message from the new listserv within 48 hours, please send another email to follow up. Once the new listserv has achieved critical mass, I will start sending emails to it, but I will also cross-post them to the current listserv. After the spring meeting, the current listserv will be phased out.
