The 6th annual meeting of the Historical Keyboard Society of North
America (HKSNA) will be held from Wednesday, April 26 to Saturday,
April 29, 2017 in Greenville, South Carolina. The meeting’s theme,
"From the Old World to the New," aims to encourage the study of
keyboard music and keyboard making in England and the Americas from
1700–1850. Selected instruments from the Carolina Clavier Collection
will be featured in this meeting.
Three days of papers presentations, lecture-recitals, and
mini-recitals (April 27–29) will be accompanied by an exhibition of
publications, recordings, and contemporary instrument makers’ work
(April 26–28). Proposals for individual presentations or for themed
sessions with multiple participants on any subject relating to
historical keyboard instruments, their use and repertories from the
Renaissance to the twenty-first century, are welcome.
