<p style="font-size:11pt; font-family:Calibri,sans-serif; margin:0">As you begin thinking about your itineraries for SMT next week (!), let me draw your attention to the time and location of this year’s PAIG meeting:
<b>Saturday, November 9 from 12:30 to 2:00 pm in Harrison</b>. We’re pleased to present lightning talks by Nancy Murphy (“Expressive Asynchrony and Lyrical Meaning in Buffy Sainte-Marie Performances”) and John Paul Ito (“Performing a Syncopated Hemiola and
Its Cousin in Brahms”); a group discussion and brief business meeting will follow.</p>
