Locating American Studies

Friday 20 September 2024, 4 pm - 5 pm

To mark the 35th anniversary of the American Studies program, a keynote event will be held themed "Locating American Studies." Special guest Dean Burry, renowned Canadian composer and librettist (Queen’s University Ontario, Canada), will deliver a keynote talk titled:
"Tracing Colville - A Multigenerational Canadian Exploration of Liberation through Music and Art."

Dean Burry’s exploration of Canadian artist Alex Colville and the theme of liberation promises to provide a unique perspective, blending history, art, and transatlantic connections. This event offers an enriching reflection on how these themes intersect with American Studies.

On September 21, two movements from Burry's symphony Tracing Colville will be performed at the Liberation Concert in Nijmegen. The concert starts at 8:15 pm at De Vereeniging, with tickets available for €1.50. Secure a spot early: Liberation Concert Tickets.
