Georg Burgstaller will participate in the annual congress of the Association Européenne des Conservatoires, Académies de Musique et Musikhochschulen (AEC) held at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Graz, Austria, from 8 to 10 November 2018. The theme of the congress, Strengthening Music in Society, is also that of the association’s new EU-funded Creative Europe initiative, which seeks to broaden access to music, arts education, and cultural participation. Dr. Burgstaller will be available to meet with conference participants to engage in discussions how AEC’s mission intersects with RILM’s resources, which make music scholarship accessible across all disciplinary and cultural boundaries. For an appointment, please contact Georg Burgstaller at gburgstaller@rilm.org.
