Music of the South Symposium
Click here for schedule.
The Music of the South Symposium, to be held March 1-3, 2012, will celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Center for the Study of Southern Culture's Master's program in Southern Studies and recognize the varied and rich tradition of music research explored by students in the program. The interdisciplinary nature of the MA program makes it particularly suited to the study of music and music's role in the history and culture of the region. Trained as scholars, a number of graduates are also musicians of local, regional, and national renown in many different genres. The Symposium will include a special Thacker Mountain Radio Show with Southern Studies alumni performing; academic panels, photo exhibits, and films about music; and a finale concert on Saturday, March 3 at the Lyric Theater. More information coming soon.
If you are a Southern Studies alumnus, alumna, or friend and would like to participate in either the academic or musical sections of the Conference, please contact Mark Camarigg at
