Chapter Meeting at the University of Toronto
We are looking forward to welcoming everyone to the AMS-NYSSL Chapter meeting at the University of Toronto, April 22-23, 2017. The meeting will be held at the Faculty of Music, Edward Johnson Building, 80 Queen’s Park Crescent, (Museum Subway) Toronto, Canada M5S2C5.
We have planned an exciting program, including faculty and student presenters, and a keynote address by Holly Watkins from the Eastman School of Music. Our thanks to Stephanie Vander Wel, University at Buffalo, for her assistance with the program, available here. Abstracts and presenter bios are available here.
We ask that you make your own hotel arrangements. The closest reasonably-priced hotel is the Holiday Inn Bloor Yorkville, 280 Bloor Street West, Toronto, Ontario M5S1V8. http://www.hitorontoblooryorkville.ca
There are, of course, many other options in the vicinity of the university and the surrounding downtown neighbourhood.
As announced earlier, the conference coincides with the Canadian Opera Company's new, all-Canadian production of Harry Somers' and Mavor Moore's centennial-commissioned opera Louis Riel. The production opens at the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts on the evening of Thursday April 20, and the second performance takes place on Sunday afternoon April 23. The chapter meeting features a panel on the opera entitled “Resonances of Riel,” and we are also hosting an interdisciplinary symposium “Hearing Riel” at the University of Toronto on Friday April 21. For further information about performances of the opera and the symposium, please see the website of the Canadian Opera Company and the University of Toronto's Canada 150 initiative.
