We are very pleased to welcome you to take part in this Symposium: it is the second event organized by the Centre for Advanced Welsh Music Studies, following its successful inaugural conference in September 1994. The main purpose of the Symposium is serious discussion of issues arising from the ap Huw manuscript (Lbl Add MS 14905) in small or plenary groups, informed by papers and presentations. Each discussion session will focus on a particular theme and address a series of set questions. It is intended that all papers will ultimately be published bilingually in the journal of the Centre for Advanced Welsh Music Studies, Welsh Music History (Hanes Cerddoriath Cymru).
[Symposium specific notices omitted]
