An eventful weekend at the 2016 Society for American Music conference

The 2016 Society for American Music (SAM) conference was held in Boston, where scholars and institutions from around the globe gathered together in a supportive and uplifting five-day meeting that consisted of panels, presentations, discussions, field trips, musical performances, receptions, and the celebration of books and authors. Marking my first time attending (and working at) a conference, #Sonneck2016 was an exciting place that focused on inclusion — cultivating and encouraging diversity in the field. I’m grateful for my time there, and for the opportunity to meet and speak with so many passionate people all in one space.
