Our Mission

The College Music Society promotes music teaching and learning, musical creativity and expression, research and dialogue, and diversity and interdisciplinary interaction. A consortium of college, conservatory, university, and independent musicians and scholars interested in all disciplines of music, the Society provides leadership and serves as an agent of change by addressing concerns facing music in higher education.

Keith Ward

In Conversation with President Keith Ward

The College Music Society is an organization of remarkable breadth and activity. I am reminded of this by the publication of the next (and newly envisioned) volume of Symposium, the cornucopia of papers, panels, performances, discussions, and keynotes to be offered at the national conference in Vancouver, and the upcoming summit at the University of South Carolina. Kudos to all who are participating in our mission to promote music teaching and learning, musical creativity and expression, research and dialogue, and diversity and interdisciplinary interaction.

2018 CMS National Conference

Welcome from the Program Chair

Dear Colleagues,

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the 2018 CMS National Conference in beautiful Vancouver, Canada in celebration of the work we all do in music. The land on which we gather is the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples including the territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations. We invite you to discover the rich cultural environment as well as the stunning vistas of the Canadian Rockies and Pacific Ocean as we explore our conference theme of diversity and inclusion.
