The Music Theory Society of the Mid-Atlantic is excited to announce a call for papers for its next annual meeting, which is a virtual conference taking place February 20–21, 2026. All papers and addresses for this conference will be presented in a live, online format.
We invite proposals for presentations in one of two formats:
1. Ten-minute work-in-progress presentations. These presentations are expected to ask questions and indicate preliminary findings rather than definitive conclusions. A ten-minute presentation provides an opportunity to solicit feedback from colleagues on new research avenues, and will be followed by 5 minutes of Q&A.
2. Twenty-minute presentations. These are standard scholarly presentations that will be followed by ten minutes of Q&A.
Proposals should be submitted online via the portal available at the MTSMA website: https://musictheorymidatlantic.org <https://musictheorymidatlantic.org/
• Deadline for submissions: 11:59 PM on November 14, 2025.
• Proposal authors will be notified of the committee’s decision by January 2, 2026
Program Committee:
• Eugene Montague, chair (George Washington University)
