Dear Friends and Colleagues,

 

Greetings from the Local Arrangements Committee for the 2010 SEMSCH chapter meeting!

 

Please join us for the forty-fourth annual meeting of the Southern California and Hawai'i Chapter of the Society for Ethnomusicology (February 20-21), cohosted by Scripps College and Pomona College. The Program Committee and the Local Arrangements Committee have organized a wonderful weekend of discussion, performance, and good food (RSVP for lunch and dinner to SBrown@ScrippsCollege.edu).  All of the events will be held on the beautiful Scripps campus (directions and map below).  We are looking forward to hearing excellent papers, and are especially excited about the keynote lecture/performance, which will be presented by ethnomusicologist, author, and guitarist Professor Manuel Pe–a (see URL below).

 

We look forward to welcoming you to Claremont!

 

Best wishes,

 

Katherine Hagedorn (Pomona College) and Candida Jaquez (Scripps College)
