About the event
How can musicians and other artists use the vast resources available in library archives to create new work? How do research and the creative process intersect?

In this roundtable discussion, the panelists talk about research, creativity, the role of librarians, ethical use of archival materials, and the use of library collections in teaching, learning and creating.

David Harrington (founding violinist, Kronos Quartet)
