Video Lectures, Performances, and Lecture-Recitals: Call for Submissions

The Video Lectures, Performances, and Lecture-Recitals component of Symposium is a video repository of the highest quality refereed music lectures, performances (including new compositions), and lecture-recitals. All topics within music, and all styles of music are eligible for inclusion. The included content highlights the broad interests of musicians, scholars, and composers worldwide.

The Video Lectures, Performances, and Lecture-Recitals component meets the need of musicians, composers, and music scholars to share their work with their colleagues internationally as well as with the general public. By making available high-quality videos of lectures, performances, and lecture-recitals, Symposium shares with both the music field and the public (a) the fruits of artistic performance, research, and composition; (b) informed opinion concerning recent and historical music and music-related literature; (c) the work of music faculty in higher education; (d) information concerning the musics of the world. Taken together, this component of Symposium provides a significant resource for musicians, scholars, and the general public, ultimately contributing to an informed citizenry.

We welcome all new and creative video or multimedia submissions from the CMS membership. Although we are uniquely suited for the publication of quality videos of any length, we also welcome submissions that link video to other media, such as presentations, audio, interactive programming, and written ancillaries. The Editorial Board will evaluate submissions primarily on the quality and originality of the content, accepting only those lectures, performances, and lecture-recitals that adhere to the highest professional standard. The Board will also evaluate the production value of the video and the accompanying audio. Given today's easy access to devices that produce quality video and the user-friendliness of editing software such as iMovie or PowerDirector, we hope that quality video production can be a secondary consideration.

Videos of any length are welcome. Submitters are asked to review carefully all the guidelines before submitting projects.  When your project is complete, please use the online form to submit the video and accompanying materials.  The receipt of submissions will be acknowledged by the Editor and notification of the article's status will be provided prompt

Symposium cannot consider for publication anything that has been submitted simultaneously to another journal.
