This year’s theme is “Engaging Communities.” You are invited to submit a proposal that links to one of these six threads of various forms of engagement within Appalachian Studies:

• ACTION – struggles for social, environmental, or economic justice;
• ARTISTIC – expression through music, dance, folk art, handicraft, poetry, and literature;
• RESEARCH – the study of Appalachian people and places including history, place, identity, culture, way of life, and regional significance;
• PARTNERSHIP – strengthening cooperation among academia, grassroots groups, government agencies, community leaders, and other representatives in the region;
• SUSTAINABILITY – preserving the future of Appalachia; and
• PARTICIPATION- ensuring voices of diversity. Proposals directly relating to these six threads will be the first reviewed. Space permitting, other proposals relevant to Appalachia will be considered.

Joe Chapman, a music professor at North Georgia College & State University, will mark the bicentennial of Frederic Chopin and Robert Schumann with a free concert. Regarded as two of the leading composers of piano music during the Romantic period of the 19th century, Chopin and Schumann were born just a few months apart in 1810. The program will feature Schumann’s Sonata in G Minor, along with a complete performance of Chopin’s Ballades. Chapman has performed in the United States and eight foreign countries as a pianist, conductor, vocalist and accompanist. He has presented solo piano recitals across Georgia and throughout the southeast, including programs for public radio and television. Chapman also is an active arranger and composer.
