Submit your proposal/abstract using this webform

The Capital Chapter of the American Musicological Society (AMS-CC) invites proposals for its Fall 2024 meeting to be held at the Library of Congress jointly with the Atlantic Chapter of the Music Library Association (AtMLA). Proposals are welcome across all areas of musicological research from faculty, independent scholars, and students of any discipline. Proposals, submitted via the form linked above, require a title and an abstract of no more than 500 words. Projection and audio/video playback are available. The standard for papers is 20 minutes followed by a 10-minute question-and-answer period, although alternative-format or -length presentations may also be considered. Applicants may submit only one proposal per meeting. 

Please note the AMS abstract guidelines: “Proposals should represent the presentation as fully as possible. A successful proposal typically articulates the main aspects of the argument or research findings clearly, positions the author’s contribution with respect to previous scholarship, and suggests the paper’s significance for the musicological community, in language that is accessible to scholars with a variety of specializations.”

Please direct any questions about the Fall 2024 Meeting to chapter chair Dr. Aaron Ziegel, aziegel@towson.edu.
