[SMT-PAIG] PAIG Mid-Year Meeting CFP

[SMT PAIG]

Dear all,

The SMT Performance and Analysis Interest Group (PAIG) invites proposals
for 13-minute lightning talks at our third annual virtual mid-year meeting,
to be held over Zoom on *Wednesday, July 29, from 7:00 to 8:15 pm EDT*.

Proposals may address any aspect of the relation between music performance
and music theory/analysis, broadly construed. Authors are encouraged to
make performance-analysis connections explicit. Proposals should also
reflect a presentation’s feasibility for the lightning format and its
incorporation of recorded or live music. We welcome creative delivery
approaches (lecture recitals, teaching demonstrations, audience
participation, etc.) and collaborations between scholars and performers. We
also encourage authors to submit proposal for projects that are in early
stages, as the lightning format is an effective forum in which to socialize
such work. Authors may submit only one proposal for consideration, and
proposals will be reviewed anonymously.

To submit a proposal, please do the following by *Monday, June 1, 2026*:

—Prepare a PDF file that includes (1) a title, (2) a proposal of up to 500
words, and (3) up to 2 pages of examples and/or bibliography. The entire
document (including filename and metadata) should be anonymized, with
self-references in the third person.

—Submit that file to this Google Form <https://forms.gle/KrdXC1viQGAhKaQ86>
(https://forms.gle/KrdXC1viQGAhKaQ86) no later than 11:59 pm EDT on the due
date.

If your proposal is accepted, you are invited (though not required) to
provide PAIG with a short (500–750 word) “teaser” blog post by Wednesday,
July 22, to be written in a reasonably non-technical and accessible style.
This could simply adapt your proposal or could be a newly composed text.
PAIG blog staff will assist those unfamiliar with the medium. We will use
this blog post to promote our meeting and to give PAIG members the
opportunity to engage with your ideas or listen to recordings in advance of
the session.

PAIG 2026 Mid-Year Meeting Program Committee: Christa Cole (Oberlin College
and Conservatory, ex officio), John Heilig (Indiana University, ex officio),
Ash Mach (Eastman School of Music), Gilad Rabinovitch (Queens College,
CUNY), H. L. Matthew Yung (University of Ottawa)

Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have.
All best,
Christa Cole and John Heilig, PAIG Co-Chairs
