In 2027, the Society for Music Theory will celebrate its 50th anniversary. As we look ahead to this milestone, we are building an archive that captures the people, ideas, and moments that have shaped our Society since its founding in 1977, and we need your help.

The Society for Music Theory's 49th Annual Meeting is coming to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, this November. More than 650 music theorists from colleges, universities, and conservatories around the world will gather for four days of connection, collaboration, and exploration of new directions in music research and practice.

We are pleased to announce the Call for Proposals for the upcoming Society for Music Theory (SMT) conference in 2027, to be held in Baltimore, Maryland, from Nov. 4–7. Deadline: February 15, 2027.
