We are delighted to welcome British musicologist and academic Michael Spitzer as our upcoming Music Theorist in Residence. Michael Spitzer is Professor of Music at the University of Liverpool. He works at the intersection of music with other disciplines, such as philosophy, psychology, biology and religion. His publications include works on Adorno and Beethoven, and one of his most recent books is titled A History of Emotion in Western Music: A Thousand Years from Chant to Pop.

In honour of the 200th anniversary of the Royal Conservatoire, a symposium will be held prior to the conference, on 5 and 6 March, where VvM members and colleagues from the Royal Conservatoire are invited to give lectures and/or workshops. Please mark these dates in your agenda!
Martin J. Lürsen prize
The Martin J. Lürsen prize will once again be awarded during the VvM conference in 2026. The prize, worth €500,- , is awarded every two years to a (Bachelor or Master) student graduating from a Dutch or Flemish conservatoire (in the field of music theory) or university (in the field of musicology) for their thesis on a music-theoretical subject. Only students who graduated in the academic years 2023-2024 or 2024-2025 are eligible for this edition. The closing date for
submission of the thesis is 1 October 2025.

We would like to urge all our members working as teachers at higher education institutes to make their graduating students aware of this award, and encourage them to submit their thesis.
