musicians, music educators, jazz and popular music scholars, public
sector heritage and culture professionals, journalists, producers of
cultural programmes for film, radio, television and other media, music
producers, musicologists and ethnomusicologists.
At the joint meeting of the Musicological Society of Southern Africa
and the Ethnomusicology Symposium in Cape Town in 2005, the two bodies
unanimously voted to jointly found a new, inclusive association to
promote the study of music in Southern Africa in all media and contexts.
The founding meeting of the new association will take place at the
School of Music & Conservatory, North-West University: Potchefstroom
Campus from 14-16 September 2006.
Conference theme: New Directions, New Voices
Keynote speaker: Prof. Gregory Barz, Vanderbilt University, USA, author
of "Singing For Life: HIV/AIDS and Music in Uganda"

only of academic papers (20 minutes), but also formats such as panel
discussions (60 minutes), and multi-media presentations, film
screenings, lecture-demonstrations and curated performances (all 20/50
