Dear Members,
I’d like to remind you of the Russian Music Theory Interest Group’s activities at this year’s SMT meeting in Arlington.
Friday, November 3, 9:00–10:00 a.m.
Interest Group Fair
Salons 5–7
Organized by the SMT Vice-President, the Interest Group Fair will feature representatives and videos from each SMT interest group. As Chair, I will represent the Russian Music Theory Interest Group. I’ll be on hand to share information and answer questions.
I have also made a video that will be available for viewing at the Interest Group Fair. The video outlines the aims and activities of our interest group. After the conference, I will have it featured on our interest group website. You can view the video at the link below. My thanks to Hagan Zoellers for producing the video.
