...this May. “Because of the theme of the conference, we wanted it to actually be international,” says Anne Shreffler, the Chair of the Harvard Music Department and one of the conference’s four organizers. “We hope that this approach will start new research to look into the cross-cultural transfer of musical ideas in the 20th century.”This weekend, the conference features 16 speakers—each internationally renowned for their teaching and music research—from six different countries, as well as a commissioned...
...book, but Barlow fancies himself a nostalgic explorer and culinary storyteller in addition to a would-be “Fear Factor” scenarist. And in his revelry he often loses sight of his quest.

On the other hand, the vocal support given to Governor Palin (and, by extension, Senator McCain) by the intolerant and extremist representatives...
