On March 11, NYU will host The Resounding Echoes Grow, “a day-long interdisciplinary symposium celebrating scholarship about American rock band Phish.”
Featured panels and roundtable discussions will explore topics like “Research Methods Across Phish Studies,” “Diversity and Identity within the Phish Community,” music journalism and more.
The day will end with a musical performance by jam scene regular Karina Rykman, who graduated from NYU in 2016 and famously jammed with the Vermont quartet to celebrate her 100th show.
The Resounding Echoes Grow will be free and open to the public.
