MGMC
3/31/17-4/1/17

The Midwest Graduate Music Consortium (MGMC) is a joint venture organized by graduate students from Northwestern University, the University of Chicago, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The 21st annual meeting of MGMC will be held at the University of Wisconsin-Madison on March 31 and April 1, 2017, and will include paper sessions on religion and censorship, new approaches to analysis and meaning, un(der)heard musical voices, mediation and circulation, and music and politics. The program also includes a new music concert featuring Madison-based contemporary chamber ensemble Sound Out Loud performing graduate student compositions, as well as a keynote on musical identity by Prof. Eric Charry of Wesleyan University. In recent years, the conference has been an excellent opportunity for school of music students to connect with current research in the field and form a stronger community for social and intellectual exchanges. We anticipate this year’s conference will facilitate not only the presentation of new research and exciting compositions, but will also promote the environment fora  deep engagement with music as a discipline.
