Together again! AMIS meets in person in Calgary

After two years of Covid-19 related interruptions, in June 2022 members of AMIS were able to come together in person once again for our annual conference. The setting was the impressive Studio Bell: National Music Centre, in Calgary, Alberta, where we experienced papers, concerts, and tours of this striking museum and recording studio. With an emphasis on electronic and Canadian music and musical instruments, the conference was sure to bring to light new insights and perspectives on musical instrument history and development. The activities began on Wednesday, June 8, with registration and guided visits to the galleries of the Nation- al Music Centre and the recording facilities of Studio Bell. The structure of the building is incredible, and the displays explore the history of Canadian music and associated musical instruments. A highlight was the visits to the recording studios.
