Slavic ethnomusicology

[Goldberg, Stuart H]

For those interested in contemporary music, Martin Daughtry (NYU) is wonderful.  He works, among other things (like sound in conflict zones) on the Russian contemporary bard scene (those pushing the envelope of avtorskaia pesnia).

I have not one but TWO graduates currently doing ethnomusicology in  
grad school, one at Illinois-Urbana, the other at Indiana.

Compiling their responses, which repeat some of the recommendations  
here:

Ohio State with Margarita Mazo springs to mind. Depends a little  
whether you're anthro-oriented (if so, Mazo would be great) or lean  
more toward Russian art music, in which case Richard Taruskin at UC  
Berkeley is your guy.

You might join the Society for Ethnomusicology, or at least check out  
the website/journal if you haven't already.

For ethno programs in general, some good schools whose programs I  
hear about often include UCLA, IU Bloomington and U of Illinois  
Urbana-Champagne.

To add to Maggie's suggestions for people who work specifically with  
Slavic stuff, there's also Donna Buchanan (U of Illinois Urbana- 
Champagne) and Tim Rice (UCLA) who both work in Bulgaria, Martin  
Daughtry (NYU - Russian stuff) and Mark Slobin (Wesleyan - Klezmer).  
I don't know to what, if any, extent they are still working in the  
region; they're just some of the names I've come across.

I second the Society for Ethnomusicology suggestion. I think the  
website even lets you do keyword searches for society members based  
on their reported research interests, but that feature's only  
accessible to members. Nice way to find Slavicists, though.

Oh, also Natalie Kononenko (Ukrainian minstrelsy and folklore) at the  
University of Alberta.
