Annual Graduate Symposium

The Society of Graduate Students in Music at Western University is pleased to announce our 25th annual Graduate Symposium on August 23rd and 24th, 2024. We are excited to welcome Dr. Antía Gonzalez Ben (University of Toronto) as our keynote speaker!

Behind the Score – Celebrating Intersectionality in Music Academia - Aug 23-24, 2024

For this year’s conference, we wanted to highlight contributions from graduate musicians in all areas of diversity. Our conference is dedicated to exploring how music, as a universal language, can serve as a powerful catalyst for building equality and fostering community within the academic sphere and beyond.

This year, we'll be holding the symposium hybrid on both days in Music Building room 242 and on Zoom. Most presentations will be in person so welcome to attend if you are in town, or watch the symposium online.
