Residential symposia and other events
Document Contents
One of the problems in the study of recordings is that knowledge is dispersed among people who never normally talk to one another. For this reason CHARM hosted a series of residential symposia bringing together musicologists, performers, producers, recording engineers, collectors, archivists, sociologists, and media theorists, among others, to address specific topics in the study of recordings; the symposia embraced classical, popular, and world musical traditions. Other acitivities included a range of seminars and study days in addition to an international conference.
