At the recent national conference of the American Musicological Society (AMS) and Society for Music Theory (SMT), held November 1–4 in San Antonio, many of the Hunter College Music Department community attended. Here are some highlights from the conference:
- Faculty members Philip Ewell, Michele Cabrini, and Daniel Fox, all delivered presentations during the AMS meetings.
- Recent graduate Clair Nguyen also delivered a presentation based on her Hunter thesis.
- Faculty member Poundie Burstein contributed to What is a Cadence?, which won the SMT 2018 Outstanding Multi-author Collection Award.
- And faculty member Mark Spicer won the 2018 Outstanding Publication Award from the SMT Popular Music Interest Group (for the best article, essay, or book involving the theory and/or analysis of popular music by a senior scholar). His “Fragile, Emergent, and Absent Tonics in Pop and Rock Songs” was published last summer in Music Theory Online.
Congrats to all who attended and contributed to the national conference of the American Musicological Society and Society for Music Theory!
