About the Talk
“Music and Connection: A Keynote Conversation with Dr. Susan McClary”
Join us for the keynote conversation of the MGSA 2025 Conference! Music and Connection, this year’s conference theme, explores the many ways music brings people together and bridges history, time, and place.
Dr. Susan McClary—renowned for her pioneering work in the cultural analysis of music—has long illuminated the sociocultural dimensions of musical works across genres and eras. In this keynote conversation, Dr. Daniel Goldmark, a former student and now colleague of Dr. McClary, leads a wide-ranging discussion on how music intersects with other disciplines and deepens our understanding of the human experience.
