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.
