For Conference Registration go to : http://www.continuetolearn.uiowa.edu/UIConferences/ and scroll down to the Re-Creation link. Conference Hotel: A block of rooms has been reserved at the Sheraton Iowa City Hotel at a conference rate of $109 per night plus taxes. Rooms must be reserved by Tuesday, September 27th in order to receive the conference rate. http://www.starwoodmeeting.com/StarGroupsWeb/res?id=1107199912&key=D9620 You may also call the hotel directly at 319-337-4058. If you phone the hotel, indicate that you are attending the Re-Creation: Musical Reception of Classical Antiquity Conference. Travel to Iowa City, Iowa: Iowa City is in eastern Iowa, just off Interstate 80, and close to the intersection with 218/I380. The closest airport is Cedar Rapids, Iowa ( http://www.eiairport.org ). There is shuttle service available from the Cedar Rapids Airport to Iowa City (http://www.eiairport.org/parking/shuttle.shtml ). Moline, Illinois is the next closest airport ( http://qcairport.com). There is no shuttle from Moline to Iowa City, and the bus is inconvenient; car rental is your best option from Moline. Car rental is also the best option from the Des Moines airport ( http://www.dsmairport.com ). It is also possible to catch a Megabus twice a day from downtown Des Moines to Iowa City. Similarly, there is a Megabus twice a day from Chicago to Iowa City. If you take a Megabus from either Des Moines or Chicago, early reservations are advised ( http://us.megabus.com ). Greyhound and Trailways buses are also available from downtown Chicago and Des Moines. By car, the drive from the Chicago airports is just under four hours. Trains stop at Galesburg, IL and Mt Pleasant IA, which, alas, put you farther away from Iowa City than the regional airports.
THURSDAY October 27 5:00 p.m. Public lecture by Wendy Heller (Princeton University) UCC Recital Hall. “Orpheus and the Origins of Opera: Looking Back at Peri’s Euridice.” Sponsored by Opera Studies Forum. 8:00 pm. evening concert by the Center for New Music at the Old Capitol Senate Chamber.
