Special Events 
Pre-Conference Symposium The Pre-Conference theme of “Crisis and Creativity” concerns the roles of music in response to crises including Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, the BP Gulf oil spill and other environmental concerns of coastal Louisiana, and the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. We are also planning afternoon field trips the same day to sites that were built or rebuilt since the hurricane and flood, such as the House of Dance and Feathers (a museum showcasing cultural traditions of the Mardi Gras Indians and Social Aid and Pleasure Clubs) and the New Orleans Habitat Musicians’ Village. Information on events and activities during the November 1-4 conference will be posted in the upcoming months. |
