International Musicological Society

The International Musicological Society (IMS) is a global organization dedicated to the scholarly study of music history, theory, and culture. It brings together musicologists—researchers and experts—who explore various aspects of music from different periods and regions. IMS organizes conferences, publishes research journals, and promotes collaboration among scholars worldwide to deepen understanding of music’s role in human society. Its goal is to advance musicology as an academic discipline and foster international dialogue about musical traditions, practices, and innovations.
