The Society for Eighteenth-Century Music will hold its tenth biennial conference at the University of North Texas in Denton, TX, on October 5–8, 2023.
We invite proposals for papers and presentations on all aspects of eighteenth-century music, particularly those that extend the geographic, social, and stylistic borders of an increasingly diverse and inclusive field of eighteenth-century music scholarship.
Presentations may be
● traditional papers of 25 minutes;
● work/dissertation-in-progress presentations of 10 minutes;
● lecture recitals (up to 45 minutes); or
● themed panels on scholarly, pedagogical, or professional development topics (3-4 presenters, 15 minutes each, total length up to 90 minutes).
Preference will be given to those who did not present at the 2021 virtual meeting. All presenters must be current members of SECM.
Submit your proposal (250 words) using the SECM 2023 Submission Google form (
https://forms.gle/k2bG95BDUZuvwL4A7). The deadline for proposals is April 14, 2023. Only one submission per author will be considered. You will be asked to upload an anonymized document that includes your proposal title and abstract to the Google form. The committee’s decision will be announced in mid-May.
Students are encouraged to apply for the Sterling E. Murray Award for Student Travel; the application form and information may be found at
