[ANPPOM-L] Mannes Institute for Musicologists

[Carlos Palombini]

********************* ATTENTION MUSICOLOGISTS:

The Mannes Institute for Advanced Studies in Music is specifically 
seeking qualified musicologists as participants in its 2006 summer 
Institute on Chromaticism to be held at Yale University from June 22-25, 
2006. The Mannes Institute is a unique interdisciplinary think tank 
designed to foster greater dialogue among music scholars in all branches 
of our profession. Each year a different topic is explored in depth 
through intensive participatory workshops led by a diverse faculty of 
experts in their field.

Although the Institute initially originated in the theory community, it 
now includes more and more historical musicologists as well. Each member 
of the Institute enrolls in one morning and one afternoon workshop for 
the entire program and attends all plenary sessions. Each workshop of 
fifteen scholars meets for three 3-hour sessions. There is no 
registration fee or tuition. Communal meals, a reception, and a banquet 
are provided free of charge, and affordable housing is available.

Additional details and the online application form are located on the 
Institute's website at www.mannes.edu/mi. The upcoming deadline for 
applications is March 1, 2006. Interested professional musicologists 
(not students) are strongly encouraged to apply. A description of the 
program is provided below:
