	Musicological Society of Australia
	Study Weekend 2004

Saturday 20 – Sunday 21 November 2004
Elder School of Music, University of Adelaide

The theme for the MSA’s Study Weekend 2004 in Adelaide will be music criticism in its varied forms.

Although it coincides with Cycle I of the State Opera of South Australia’s premiere Australian production of Richard Wagner’s Der Ring des Nibelungen, it will not be a weekend where Wagner permeates everything.

Issues that will be discussed during the weekend will include: the role of Criticism as Applied Musicology and the Critical Reception of Wagner’s Ring in Australia. To help start these discussions, academics including Roger Covell, Joel Crotty, Nicholas Routley, Johanna Selleck and others to be announced will share thoughts, ideas and wisdom.

Apart from the enjoyable sessions of informal, collegial and non-didactic discussion, a Public Forum will occur with a panel of music commentators from many walks of life to discuss various aspects of Wagner and music criticism.
