About Us
The Graduate Music Society (“GMS”) at Boston University is the student organization of the Department of Musicology & Ethnomusicology. The group aims to foster an environment for the discussion and debate of current issues in the fields of music scholarship, promote the profile of music scholarship at the university, and encourage and assist members in the pursuit of their scholarly activities.
Beyond those stated aims, the GMS also offers a release from the daily academic grind. We gather regularly in the Musicology and Ethnomusicology Department and in less formal venues, where conversations morph from the rigors of graduate work to far less related topics. The GMS provides a platform to express student concerns while bridging the graduate student community with the musicology faculty and the larger academic community. Welcome!
