Music is also part of the program throughout the week, including a June 19 evening lecture-recital by soprano Jane Dressler, professor of music at Kent State University. We are delighted to be hosting so many people from around the world who are interested in Nebraska's best. As many as 100 scholars, students, writers and editors will present papers for discussion, sharing individual philosophies and insights on Cather's phenomena. After a week's residency, those at the seminar will be changed. It makes a profound difference, reading a writer such as Cather on site, where the places and the people of the fiction have a real and ongoing life.
