This conference will explore ways that vocal and instrumental music since antiquity has received and recreated the art and culture of the Greeks and Romans. In conjunction with academic panels there will also be three major musical events: the first extant opera, Jacopo Peri's Euridice; silent films on classical subjects, with original scores and new music composed and played by Andrew Earle Simpson; and an opening night concert of modern music by Iowa's Center for New Music.
