Accessibility
The University of Louisville School of Music, University Club, and Louisville Hall (dormitory accommodation) are accessible for disabled individuals. The Holiday Inn-Downtown, which has a block of rooms set aside for MTMW conference participants, has a small number of barrier-free rooms, as does the Days Inn; participants needing such accommodation should request these rooms when making reservations. The Old Louisville B & Bs feature charming but largely inaccessible Victorian architecture; some may have carried out sufficient renovations to offer a barrier-free room, but this should not be assumed--check with the proprietor. We will find a way for all conference participants who wish to do so to attend the dessert party at Anne Marie de Zeeuw's house!
About Louisville, the University of Louisville, and the School of Music
Louisville lies on the Ohio River approximately 100 miles southwest of Cincinnati and 120 south of Indianapolis. Its charter was signed by Thomas Jefferson in 1787, and, since that time, the city has been a hub for transportation by rail and water. Two of the leading industries today are UPS and Humana. Louisville is also known for Churchill Downs (home of the "most famous 2 minutes in sports"), Actors Theater of Louisville, and a park system designed by Frederick Olmsted (designer of NYCÕs Central Park). Louisville has many fine restaurants featuring a variety of cuisines.
The University of Louisville is celebrating its bicentennial this year. The university is distributed among three campuses; the Belknap campus (where we will have our meeting) boasts having the first cast of RodinÕs The Thinker and the Brandeis School of Law (named for Louis Brandeis, the Supreme Court Justice who was from Louisville).
The School of Music is home to the Grawemeyer Award for Music Composition, an annual prize given for a piece premiered within the last five years. The Dwight Anderson Music Library houses the Grawemeyer Collection. The Ricasoli Collection is another special collection in the library; this consists of 18th- and early 19th-century Italian manuscripts, mostly from Florence.
