I had the great privilege to participate in the 21st Quinquennial Congress of the International Musicological Society (IMS), which was held in Athens 22 to 26 of August, under the auspices of the Departments of Music Studies of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens and the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. It was hosted by the Hellenic Musicological Society.
APPROACHES TO RESEARCH ON MUSIC AND DANCE IN THE INTERNET ERA
International Forum of ICTM—SEM—IMS—IAML—IASPM
Central Conservatory of Music, Beijing, 11-14 July 2018
Call for Papers for IAML Members
This was the first-ever joint conference of IAML, ICTM, and IMS, and we were hosted by Ginny Danielson (head of NYU Abu Dhabi’s library and previously the head of Harvard University’s music library) and her colleagues. NYU Abu Dhabi Institute sponsored the event, which was limited to 30-35 participants due to various resource constraints. Given this limit, the three societies decided to invite 7 to 8 participants each and then encourage as much regional participation as possible. IAML has few members indeed from this part of the world and has not yet connected the way we would like to in this region, so especially with this in mind, the conference was an important event for our Association. And what an event it was!
IAML, the International Musicological Society (IMS), and the International Council for Traditional Music (ICTM) are co-sponsoring a confrence with New York University at Abu Dhabi from March 13 to 15, 2017. The title of the conference is Music As Cultural Heritage: Problems of Historiography, Ethnography, Ethics and Preservation.
