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.
To our Colleagues in the College Music Society,
The mission of our Society is to promote, as an agent of change, “music teaching and learning, musical creativity and expression, research and dialogue, and diversity and interdisciplinary interaction.” We have a proud legacy of a commitment to diversity and inclusion, as reflected in our publications, collaborations, conference programs, and leadership. We are also dedicated to inclusion of all perspectives that our forums and dialogues foster.
October is a month across academe when we settle into our work. That said, it is important to remember that some among us this year have worked through unwanted catastrophes. With earthquakes in Mexico, raging fires in the West, and hurricanes Harvey, Irma, Jose, and Maria causing interruptions and inflicting unimaginable damage, let us take a moment to express our concerns and best wishes to colleagues who have had to confront significant disruption in their work and lives. We hope normalcy will return soon. Reflecting past generosity of CMS members, you may wish to consider providing financial support to those areas affected.
