Aaron Keebaugh (PhD Musicology '11) will present his paper "Victor Herbert and Irish America" at the annual meeting of the Society for Musicology in Ireland held at Queen's University in Belfast this coming June. The paper, drawn from letters and scores housed in the Victor Herbert Collection at the Library of Congress, will trace the composer's political and musical involvements during the time when the Irish Home-Rule issue touched American shores (1890-1916).
Keebaugh is a regular contributor to the Boston Classical Review, and he teaches courses in Music History, World History and United States History at North Shore Community College in Danvers, Massachusetts.
