Proposals are invited for the Royal Musical Association French Music Study Group Annual Conference, which will take place at Sorbonne Université, Paris, on 4th-5th June 2026, in collaboration with the Institut de Recherche en Musicologie (IReMus) and the Société française de musicologie.
The conference aims to promote research and practice in French and Francophone music and culture, and is open to those working on music across all eras. We welcome participation from all pathways of music research (such as musicologists, performers, composers, music educators, organologists and ethnomusicologists), as well as those who approach music from other disciplines. Alongside papers, there will be opportunities to learn about the research taking place at IReMus, in addition to a recital and keynote lecture.
The committee invites proposals for the following formats:
- 20-minute conference papers (with 10 minutes for Q&A)
- 40-minute lecture-recitals (with 10 minutes for Q&A)
- Themed panels (max. 3 papers) relating to music in France and the Francophone world.
Papers may be given in English or in French. To submit a proposal, please complete the submission form by 11:59pm GMT on 8 January 2026.
Form: https://forms.gle/D6a2ZgogT43Tx32G9
Membership of either the Royal Musical Association or the Société française de musicologie is not a prerequisite for submission, but members of these organisations will receive a discounted fee.
