CFP and Happy New Year!

Happy 2014!
I'd like to extend New Year's greetings to members and friends of the AMS New England Chapter. Below, please find the Call For Papers for our Winter meeting on Saturday, March 8, 2014 at The Boston Conservatory.

Upcoming Meetings

I also wanted to mention that due to scheduling issues, our Winter meeting (March 8) and Spring meeting will be very close together. The Spring meeting will be May 3rd at Providence College (please see the
Upcoming Meetings section at the foot of this blog).

Hosting

Regrettably, the Winter meeting conflicts with the national meeting of the Society for American Music. If you are a faculty member at a college or university in  New England, please consider hosting a meeting. The more hosts we have, the more flexibility we have in terms of picking dates for the meetings. Hosting requires providing a venue, morning and afternoon snacks,  and A/V equipment (and support). We've been very lucky to have scheduled venues between now and Winter 2015, but we are still looking for hosts and would like to keep an ongoing list. If you would be willing to host a meeting, please e-mail: ams.newengland@gmail.com

I look forward to seeing you at our remaining meetings for the 2013-14 academic year.

All best,
Rebecca Marchand
AMS-NE President

Year-End Review: AMS-NE in 2015

As the year draws to a close, I thought I'd take the opportunity to summarize and comment upon chapter activities and events that have marked this past year for us in the AMS-NE. We had a very successful Winter meeting at Boston University on February 21, 2015, which was not only well-attended, but featured particularly good feedback and questions from the audience. I make special note of this as one of the people in attendance that day is no longer with us--Dr. Joel Sheveloff, who left us on November 8, 2015. There have been many beautiful remembrances of Dr. Sheveloff, but I include one from chapter member Fred Thornton at the end of this post. I hope you will take the time to read it, as we lost someone who was an inspiration, mentor, and friend to so many in our chapter. Early May 2015 brought us to a meeting at Yale , which, despite an unexpected campus-wide power failure, was a lively and enlightening gathering! We look forward to being back in Connecticut at The Hartt S
