Announcement online sessions
During the last business meeting, which took place on 27 January, a number of members came
forward with the idea of organizing online lectures within our society, held by and for our
members. In this way we can stay in contact on a professional level with one another, despite the
corona regulations. A few members spontaneously offered to give a lecture.
We are happy to announce the start of these series of lectures on Monday 26 April, 7.00 PM -
9.00 PM, where Barbara Bleij will provide the first lecture with the title ‘Meer dan een schema -
Een analyse van Wayne Shorter’s “Lester Left Town” en “Harlequin” ‘ (More than a scheme - An
analysis of Wayne Shorter’s “Lester Left Town” and Harlequin”). The abstract of the lecture in
Dutch was already send by Ralf Pisters, and can also be read on the website of the society. The
lecture will be held via Zoom: a link to the meeting was sent in the same mail as the abstract of
the lecture. If you do not have Zoom installed on your device, it will be installed automatically
when you click on the link. We hope to organise a second lecture before the summer. We will
inform you as soon as we have more information. We hope the lectures will be received with
enthusiasm.

Upcoming events
Given the ongoing Covid-19 crisis, it is difficult at this moment to offer any concrete information
about upcoming live events for the VvM.
At the moment the EuroMAC in Moscow is planned to take place between 20 and 25 September,
though it is not yet confirmed if the event will be live, online, or a combination of both. More
information can be found at https://euromac.mosconsv.ru
From 1 to 3 October, the German Gesellschaft für Musiktheorie (GMTH) will organise a conference
around tone systems and temperaments. Although they hope the congress can be held live, they
keep the possibility open that the congress will be organized as an online event. More information
can be found on the website of the GMTH: https://www.gmth.de/veranstaltungen/

During the last general assembly we expressed the hope as a society to be able to organise a
study day if the situation would allow it. In the first half of 2022, we hope to organise a congress, if
possible in combination with the Music Theorist in Residence program. As soon as more
information can be provided you will be informed.
