09/25 - Athenaeum at 1pm - A Researcher’s Travel to Havana, Cuba

Join us today at 1:00pm for A Researcher’s Travel to Havana, Cuba presented by Suzanne Draayer, Professor, Music.

Professor Draayer traveled to La Habana, Cuba in March 2012 to conduct research on Cuban art song composers and their music. The difficulty and challenges of the trip—the acquisition of a researcher’s license from OFAC, visas restrictions, finding a host, etc.—will be presented, as well as the success of my journey.

After visiting with musicologists at the Museo Nacional de la Música, Professor Draayer was able to return with several scores and books on Cuban art music, which were donated to the Darrell Krueger Library. An article will appear in Journal of Singing.

Please encourage your students and colleagues to attend.

The Library Athenaeum is located on the second floor of the Krueger Library, bluff side. For more information about the fall Athenaeum events, please visit: http://www.winona.edu/library/athenaeum/
