Music Library Association 70th Annual Meeting
The Music Library Association (MLA) will hold its 70th Annual Meeting at the Grand Hyatt New York in New York City, February 21-25, 2001. MLA will be joined by members of the Theatre Library Association, the Dance Librarians Discussion Group of the ACRL Arts Section and the Congress on Research in Dance. The opening plenary session, titled "Documenting the Present for the Future," will be held in the Bartos Forum of the Humanities and Social Sciences Library of The New York Public Library. Panelists Betty Corwin and Madeline Nichols will describe the film and videotape documentation of contemporary drama and dance which is part of the NYPL's Billy Rose Theatre Collection and Jerome Robbins Dance Division. Committee and Roundtable programs during the meeting will encompass all of the performing arts. Mary E. Edsall, President of the Congress on Research in Dance, will give a talk on a core collection in dance. The second plenary session will focus on the quintcentenary of music printing. The four panelists will represent the perspectives of the composer, performer, publisher and historian.
The MLA Local Arrangements Committee, host of the 70th Annual Meeting, is planning special tours of the Louis Armstrong House and Archives in Queens, the Metropolitan Opera Archives, and the archives of the New York Philharmonic. Tours of several Broadway theaters will be organized by members of the Theatre Library Association. Additionally, there will be the MLA Organ Crawl and a jazz pub crawl of downtown Manhattan.
