Analysis of World Musics Interest Group

Mission statement

The primary objective of the SMT Analysis of World Musics Interest Group is to provide a unique interdisciplinary platform from which to explore the panoply of global musical traditions, both past and present, that lie outside the purview of Western art music from the broadest possible array of theoretical, cultural, historical and analytical perspectives.
