Stephanie,

 

This is our second run of New Harmonies ("The NH2r"?). We were quite
pleased with our scholar from round 1 and will be using him again. He,
Dr. Chris Goertzen, is on the faculty of the music department at The
University of Southern Mississippi and has a deep interest in fiddle
music from present to Old World origins. He also performs, mostly on
guitar but is also a trained classical violist. Credentials aside, he
has a contagious personality and works exceptionally well with our local
host sites in developing and participating in their local programming.
This is equally, if not more important, than the other stuff in my
opinion and experience.

 

Happy pickin'

David

Hello all,

 

Our state is hosting New Harmonies in 2012, so I'm in the process of
searching for scholars and host sites.  For those states who have
already had the exhibit, is it best to look for scholars with Music Ed.
backgrounds or is there another discipline I should be focusing on?

 

Thanks for your help!

Stephanie
