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.

This annual award honors outstanding undergraduate syllabi that promote diversity in music theory. The deadline to apply for the 2026 award is Monday, September 14.

These grants help reimburse authors for out-of-pocket expenses associated with the preparation and publishing of any article or book in the field of music theory that has been accepted for publication (e.g., music examples, the payment of copyright or permission fees, the production of graphic and illustrative material, and the development of any relevant computer software, audio material, or other multi-media components essential to the text’s production).
