Musicians' panel session

A highlight of the conference is a panel session involving musicians with a close personal involvement in communism. Regrettably Henry Flynt has withdrawn from the conference due to ill health. I am delighted that in his place we will hear from Ernie Lieberman (also known as Ernie Sheldon), a prominent figure in the American folk movement of the 1940s and 1950s. Also on the panel are the distinguished composers Konrad Boehmer and Giacomo Manzoni. Each panel participant will offer a personal reflection upon the conference theme, to be followed by discussion and questions from the audience.
