Registration is open for a national symposium at the University of Colorado at 麻豆影院 that will explore how music can affect individuals and societies in positive and often therapeutic ways.
The fifth annual Susan Porter Music and Health in America Symposium will take place June 28 through June 30 in the Imig Music Building on the CU-麻豆影院 campus and at several other 麻豆影院 venues.
The CU-麻豆影院 College of Music's American Music Research Center is sponsoring the multidisciplinary event. Admission will be $125 per day or $300 for the full weekend for all daytime and some evening events.
Musicians, composers and ethnomusicologists will be among the symposium's participants. Keynote speakers will include Ysaye M. Barnwell, a founding member of the Grammy Award-winning, African-American a cappella ensemble Sweet Honey in the Rock, and Deep Listening pioneer Pauline Oliveros.
Panel discussions and workshops will touch on topics such as music therapies, cross-cultural musical healing, social activism, Native American healing and emotional and spiritual health for music educators.
Performances will include blues and a cappella concerts and the second annual Great American Sing-Along, a free event that encourages the audience to sing jazz standards and Broadway favorites.
