Updates…

sdicm2016

The schedule of the IcM will be published very, very soon! We thank the abstract review committees for their hard work! We have read wonderful proposals from virtually every continent (except the Antarctica…), and have accepted less than half of the received proposals.

We are presenting RedFishBlueFish, UCSD composers and performers, and intercultural music from Hong Kong, Guatemala, and Azerbaijan in the three concerts of the weekend. The concerts will be held on Friday afternoon, Saturday evening, and Sunday late morning/early afternoon.

For academic presentations, we’ll have exciting papers by Professor Amy Bauer (Music Theory, University of California, Irvine), Professor Silvio dos Santos (Musicology, University of Florida), and many, many others… stay tuned!
