Honors Convocation: Stephen Kelly

The Honors Convocation is held each year on the last Friday of spring term to recognize faculty and students for their accomplishments and their service to the community. This year’s address will be delivered by Stephen Kelly, the Dye Family Professor of Music, who has taught at Carleton since 1974. Kelly has directed the early music ensemble and taught courses in music history, including a popular course in jazz history. He has been a Fulbright Scholar and has published editions of the music of Niccolo da Perugia and co-authored a video tape on the Medieval Monastery. He has also done research focused on the area of jazz reception and the music of Wynton Marsalis. Most recently he has presented "Joan Baez at Spring Hill: A Study of Intersecting Histories." A performer as well as a musicologist, Kelly plays saxophone and clarinet in “Occasional Jazz.” The title of his presentation was "My Carleton Education."
