Reading Group Friday September 10

this week we're reading Kiri Miller's article, "Schizophonic Performance: 'Guitar Hero,' 'Rock Band,' and Virtual Virtuosity." Journal of the Society for American Music 3, no. 4 (November, 2009). Miller is probably (definitely?) going to be speaking here at UW-Madison in the spring, so this is a great opportunity to get familiar with her recent work.

When: 2PM, Friday September 10

Where: the classroom in Mills Music Library (in the basement of Memorial library, room B162)

What: find the file at our google site here or in IIMP or Cambridge Press online

post any thoughts/questions/burning issues on our google site ahead of time.

no opera, no opera, no opera

sorry folks, be we've decided to cancel opera night on Friday (9/3). blame it on the construction, the rain, the the upcoming 2-day school week.... just don't blame it on us and our crazy schedules. we will most certainly reschedule, because I very much want to hear people sing about the bomb.

Opera Opera Opera...

We're gonna watch an opera!
The confirmed information is the following:
-Friday 3 Sep, 7pm
-We will be in the Union
-It will be a modern-y opera

Information that is awaiting confirmation is:
-Doctor Atomic by Adams
-Room # in the Union. We won't know until that day but will repost. You can also look that day at this website, which will tell you everything you need to know.

So come and watch some opera with us, it will be exceptionally nerdy.

Reading Group: 20 Aug 1pm

Yes, indeed, we will be reading an article and talking about it as we are wont to do.
This week's article is:
"Musicology and Fiction" by Michael Saffle.
A pdf of the article will be available here.

The place will be barriques again and the time is 1pm on Friday, 20 August.

See you all there...
