Mission statement

The Timbre and Orchestration Interest Group promotes research and pedagogy with respect to timbre and orchestration in music theory, where orchestration is broadly construed as the selection, combination, and juxtaposition of sound sources to achieve a musical goal. We offer a platform for connection, collaboration, and the exchange of ideas among scholars, inclusive of all repertoires, disciplines, and methodological approaches. 

Activities

Our annual meetings at SMT conferences offer opportunities to conduct group business and to share recent research and pedagogical developments through events such as lightning talks, workshops, and discussion groups. 

Online presence and discussion
