American Musicological Society

The American Musicological Society (AMS) is a professional organization dedicated to the study and research of music. Founded in 1934, it brings together music scholars, researchers, and educators to promote the understanding and appreciation of music history, theory, and analysis. AMS facilitates conferences, publishes academic journals, and encourages collaboration among musicologists. Its goal is to advance scholarship in the field and support the exchange of ideas about music and its cultural significance. By fostering a community of music scholars, AMS helps to elevate the discipline of musicology within the broader landscape of the humanities.
