The CUNY Graduate Center's Music Ph.D.-D.M.A. programs invite you to attend its Tenth Annual Graduate Students in Music symposium (CUNY GSIM 10), Theorizing Performance/Performing Scholarship, on Saturday, April 21st, 2007 at the CUNY Graduate Center, 365 Fifth Avenue, NY, NY
between 34th & 35th Streets.

Keynote speaker Elisabeth Le Guin has taught at UCLA since 1997. Her book Boccherini's Body: an Essay in Carnal Musicology, was published by the University of California Press in January 2006. Her current project is on musical theater in 18th-century Madrid. Before beginning her academic career Dr. Le Guin was a free-lance Baroque cellist in the lively Early Music scene in California. She is a founding member of Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra and the Artaria String Quartet, and appears in over 40 recordings. She continues to perform nationally and internationally, and this double career has permitted her to develop the idea, fundamental to her work, of musicology as a perpetual dialogue between theory and practice.
