The Ohio State University is pleased to announce a workshop/symposium
on Music Cognition, May 1-3, 1998.  The workshop consists of 14 invited
lectures from scholars from North American and Europe.

Fully half of the presentations are general or review in nature -- so
the workshop is an excellent opportunity to gain an overview of the
"state of the art" in Music Cognition.

Admission to the workshop is free; there is no registration fee.
