The H. Wiley
Hitchcock Institute for Studies in American Music at Brooklyn College,
City University of New York, is an internationally recognized center for the
study and presentation of American music. A division of the College's Conservatory of Music, The Hitchcock
Institute, originally known as ISAM for short, was established in 1971 by H.
Wiley Hitchcock, its first director. His successor, Carol J. Oja, served as
director from 1993 to 1997; Ellie M. Hisama served as director from 1997 to
2005. Jeffrey Taylor is the
current director. The Institute contributes to American music studies in
several ways. It publishes a biannual newsletter and a
series of monographs, serves as an information center, and sponsors
conferences and symposia dealing with all areas of American music including
art music, popular music, and music of the oral tradition. Since its
founding, the Institute has encouraged research by offering fellowships to
scholars and composers. ISAM enriches the educational experience of Brooklyn College
students, faculty, and members of the Brooklyn
community through its regular programming of annual conferences, lectures,
conferences, and artist residencies.
