Music and Philosophy Study Group Events in Pittsburgh
Stephen Smith
Hi everyone,
I hope you're all well. I write with a reminder about upcoming MPSG events at AMS in Pittsburgh. As usual, we'll hold two events: an evening panel, slated for Thursday night (8-10 pm), and a business meeting, slated for Friday around lunchtime (12:15-1:45 pm).
Please note that, because of ongoing construction at the hotel, rooms have been changed. The evening session will take place in Sterlings 1, and the daytime session will take place in Le Bateau.
Other details are included below.
We expect these to be really fantastic events, and we hope to see you there!
Best wishes,
Steve Smith
