On 4-6 November 2005, the Department of Musicology will host a special scholarly meeting on the eighteenth-century symphony dedicated to the memory of the late A. Peter Brown. Professor Brown's last scholarly project, the five-volume series entitled The Symphonic Repertoire, remained incomplete at his death. This meeting will feature presentations by seventeen of the scholars collaborating on the writing of the first volume of that series. There will be no charge for attending the meeting, but if you wish to attend, please notify the department's Administrative Assistant, Yvonne Gray, by 24 October 2005 (click here to send e-mail to her).
