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.

Creating Shared Spaces

March 2021 has proven to be a difficult month.

Violent hate attacks in Atlanta, Georgia that targeted our Asian American and Pacific Islander community have resulted in eight lives lost and once again exposed the centuries-old racism and misogyny that confront our AAPI colleagues. The Boulder, Colorado shooting that has stolen ten yet-fully realized lives occurred just 2 miles from the offices of our University of Colorado Boulder music colleagues, confronting us with the inescapable truth that, within the seconds it takes to unload a Ruger AR-556, our realities can be forever changed.
