Another regional conference twofer: The Allegheny Chapter of the AMS in cahoots with the Niagara Chapter of the SEM at Indiana University of Pennsylvania on March 30-31. World music fans should note the keynote address by the godfather of ethnomusicology, Bruno Nettl. He gave the keynote at the Dutch conference I was at last month, and is very amusing. Historical Performance fans should note that the Indiana Town Band will give a concert on restored 19th-century instruments on the 30th. And this conference is completely free!
