Congratulations to the eight FSU musicologists who presented at this year’s Southern Graduate Music Research Symposium hosted by the University of Georgia Musicology/Ethnomusicology Student Association. The two-day conference was a great success! We’d like to extend a huge thanks to UGA for being such gracious hosts. Next year, SGMRS will be hosted by our own FSU Society for Musicology – we hope to see some familiar faces here in Tallahassee!
