Dr. Claude Dauphin, the co-founder of the SRDMH archive and top musicologist of Haitian music, asked me to present at the conference entitled “Valorisation des répertoires musicaux classiques afro-diasporiques” on September 30 in Montreal to publicize their new digital editions of Haitian art music. I presented on the topic, given from Dr. Dauphin: “Uses and Categories of Syncopated Rhythm Notation in Piano Art Music from Haiti (Méringue-Quintolet), Puerto Rico (Elastic Tresillo) and Cuba (Cinquillo).” I also provided the closing performance of Julio Racine’s Vodou Jazz Flute Sonata with Dr. Dauphin’s wife, Edith.

I will make similar presentations for the online version of the 2023 World Piano Conference, which will go online in November, and the MMTA State Conference at Mississippi State on October 27th.
