AMS Annual Meeting

The Annual Meeting of the American Musicological Society (AMS) has been held continuously since 1934

About

Each year the American Musicological Society (AMS) holds a four-day Annual Meeting. The largest international conference of its kind in music studies, the AMS Annual Meeting is a forum for the exploration of musicology, dance studies, ethnomusicology, music theory, performance studies, and much more. The event is made possible by the support and voluntary service of AMS committee members on the Committee on the Annual Meeting and Public Events (CAMPE), the Program Committee, and the Performance Committee.

Most years the AMS Annual Meeting attracts 1,600 to 2,000 people from a wide range of research fields and professions and features 175 to 200 lectures, performances, paper panels, roundtables, and workshops. With low registration rates (which are further discounted for students, low-income attendees, and retired persons), the AMS Annual Meeting provides excellent opportunities for advertisers and exhibitors to reach experts in music studies and music education.
