The Midwest Chapter officers are pleased to announce that the Spring 2025 meeting will be held online and in-person at Illinois State University on March 15-16th. Thorton Miller will be our host for the meeting.

Proposals for presentations, special sessions, panel discussions, and papers with a performance component are welcomed on any topic related to musicology. Abstracts should be no longer than 250 words and should clearly indicate the scope of the research, methodology, and conclusions. Presentations will be limited to twenty minutes, with an additional ten minutes allotted for questions and discussion. Applications will include an option to indicate preference for online or in-person presentation formats. Speakers at the 2024 Fall meeting are not eligible to submit a paper abstract for the 2025 Spring meeting; however, they are welcome to participate in panel discussions. Only one submission per person is allowed.

Deadline for abstract submission: February 17, 2025

The meeting will feature a keynote presentation by Scott Schwartz (University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign) titled “Sousa and Baseball.”
