Due to concerns about the spread of COVID19 and in an effort to keep

the NYU community healthy, THE RESOUNDING ECHOES GROW: A PHISH STUDIES SYMPOSIUM has been postponed to the fall of 2020. Once the conference is rescheduled, all those who RSVPed for the March 2020 event will be contacted with information on the new date.

The Resounding Echoes Grow is a day-long interdisciplinary symposium celebrating scholarship about American rock band Phish. The symposium will analyze the band and its cultural impact across disciplines since its founding in Vermont in 1983. The Resounding Echoes Grow hosts the Phish Studies community and beyond for panels, roundtables, and presentations that address music, community, research, and more. Hosted by Gallatin MA candidate Isaac Slone, the symposium will include a musical performance by Karina Rykman (BA ’16). Free and open to the public. Artwork courtesy Dave Russo.

This event is currently at capacity and registration is closed.
