ABOUT THE TALK:

Join us for the keynote conversation of the MGSA 2025 Conference! Music and Connection, the conference theme, invites discussions and presentations about the multitudinous ways music can connect people, history, time, and place. Dr. Susan McClary, one of the founding figures of the cultural analysis of music, has long been known for her ability to make sociocultural connections to a wide array of musical works. Dr. Daniel Goldmark, a former student of McClary's and now a colleague, leads this discussion of the many ways music intertwines other disciplines and the human experience.
