Society for Music Theory
44th Annual Meeting
Virtual
#SMT44
Nov 4–Nov 7, 2021
Thank you to everyone who helped make SMT 2021 a success!
We are pleased to announce the winners of several awards:
The Society for Music Theory is reflecting on two years of virtual meetings in 2020 and 2021 and planning for future in-person meetings in 2022 and beyond. The virtual meetings have presented challenges and opportunities. While some members are ready to return to face-to-face interactions, others have benefitted greatly from being able to attend meetings virtually. There is a lot to consider. With this in mind, the Annual Meeting Ad Hoc Committee has created the SMT 2021 Post-Meeting Survey. Registrants should have received an email soliciting their participation in this survey.
Thank you to Indiana University Press for sponsoring the 2021 Annual Meeting!
Thank you to Rising Software for sponsoring the 2021 plenary session, "Teaching Music in the 21st Century"!
Thank you to Artusi, Inc. for sponsoring the 2021 Free Undergraduate Admission Program!

The SMT Professional Development Committee will host its annual CV and Cover Letter Review Session, but this year pairs will communicate via email and, if they wish, via Zoom. Our team of faculty reviewers will provide tailored feedback on CVs and other job documents. We warmly invite SMT members at all career stages—students, recent graduates, faculty members, independent scholars—to participate in the session. Over the years, the CV and Cover Letter Review Session has helped numerous SMT members prepare for the job market. Register by November 8.
