WELCOME TO THE SOUTH AFRICAN SOCIETY FOR RESEARCH IN MUSIC

Emerging from the recognition that music research has historically been pursued in relatively distinct settings and intellectual traditions in our country, the objective of the Society shall be to facilitate dialogue and collaboration between all researchers in music, within and beyond academia and the promotion, fostering and dissemination of such research.

Though the Society’s members are predominantly based in South Africa, the Society also welcomes members, collaborations and research into music in its broader Southern African, African continental and international contexts. Please feel free to browse our website and contact us for further information.
