We are beyond delighted to welcome distinguished guest, Gary Tomlinson, for our final workshop of the quarter, taking place next Wednesday, June 3rd (4:30-6:00 PM in Logan 801). Professor Tomlinson will be discussing his recently published book, A Million Years of Music: The Emergence of Human Modernity  (Zone Books/MIT Press, 2015), a richly woven narrative about the evolution of human musicking capacities, drawing on cognitive studies, archeology, and evolutionary theory, among other fields. For those pressed for time, he has recommended reading Chapter 1, the end of Chapter 6 (starting on page 225), and all of Chapter 7, skimming pp. 237-260.

Please join us as we crown this year’s workshop series with a lively discussion on musical beginnings!
