In implicit dialogue with the ‘search for tradition' of New Zealand Musicological Society's annual conference in 2015, this year we invite participants to consider musical and cultural paths of the present and future, in both New Zealand and international contexts. We particularly welcome submissions that address, directly and indirectly, the following themes:

New and innovative areas of musicological, ethnomusicological, performative, and compositional enquiry (with all strands broadly conceived)

Ruptures, divergences and deviations from tradition

The significance and/or future of labels such as ‘New Zealand music' in a globalised, 21st-century world

We also welcome papers on other musicology, ethnomusicology, performance and composition-related topics.
