The SMT Interest Group on Improvisation will hold its annual meeting on Saturday November 6, from 9:30am – 10:45am E.T. In our meeting, we will host an open discussion on improvisation studies’ place with regard to music theory’s white racial frame. Following a brief introduction and prepared comments from Andrew Malilay White, Benjamin Stein, Sean Smither, and Andrew Goldman, we will open the floor for responses and further discussion from our attendees on improvisation studies’ own systemic biases, and its position to contribute to reform within the broader field.

We hope you are able to join us.
Best,
Andrew Goldman, Chair
Sean Smither, Vice-Chair
