The Society for Minimalist Music is pleased to announce that the University of Maryland School of Music will host the 10th International Conference on Music and Minimalism May 7–10, 2026, at the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center. The four-day conference will feature keynote lectures by musicologists Anne Searcy and Benjamin D. Piekut;  a keynote concert and talk by composer Kali Malone; performances by students and faculty from the University of Maryland's School of Music and School of Theatre, Dance, and Performance Studies; and research presentations from visiting scholars and musicians. Conference attendees will have the opportunity to take advantage of the university's location right outside Washington, DC, including a visit to the Library of Congress to view materials related to musical minimalism, such as the recently-processed John Adams Collection.

Please stay tuned for a call for papers that will be issued in the early fall; we look forward to seeing you in College Park next May!
