Council for Traditions of Music and Dance has established a fund in honour of Maud Karpeles (1885–1976), one of the key people in the establishment of the International Folk Music Council, as well as its first Honorary Secretary, first <em>Bulletin</em> editor, and first <em>Journal</em> editor. She was subsequently named Honorary President.</p> <p>Upon her death, Klaus Wachsmann said she was the “soul and the spirit” of the Council from its beginning, and Willard Rhodes noted that Karpeles</p> <blockquote><p>supplied the imagination, vision, mental and physical energy and force to launch successfully the IFMC and guide its growth and development. She was a gifted organizer and administrator and enjoyed the collaboration and respect of an international coterie of distinguished scholars and musicians. But it was her humanity and philosophy that marked the character and work of the Council.</p></blockquote> <p>The Maud Karpeles Fund is available to ICTMD members for activities that support the mission and aims of the Council.</p> <h2>Application</h2> <h3>World Conferences</h3> <p>Members interested in being considered for financial assistance to attend the <a href="/ictmd2025">48th ICTMD World Conference</a> (Wellington, New Zealand, 9–15 January 2025) should apply using <a href="/financial-assistance/application-ictmd-world-conference-2025">this form</a>. </p> <h3>Study Group symposia</h3> <p>Members interested in being considered for financial assistance to attend Study Group symposia covered by the ICTMD Study Group Allowance should apply using <a href="/general-information/financial-assistance/application-financial-assistance-study-group-symposia">this form</a>. </p> <h3>Other</h3> <p>Finally, applicants can <a href="/governance/secretariat">write to the Secretariat</a> stating their wish to be assisted by the Maud Karpeles Fund, outline the anticipated costs, and briefly detail the reasons for their request.</p> </div></div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="footer"> <div class="region region-footer"> <div id="block-block-1" class="block block-block clearfix bars "> <div class="content"> <p>© 2010–2024 International Council for Traditions of Music and Dance | <a href="/links">Links</a> | <a href="/news">News</a></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.ictmusic.org/sites/default/files/js/js_VU7P4CTgUZdF2SyFko5LLAg9ZK0OSVjXVaAFnTLgVt0.js"></script> </body> </html>
