Lamont Winter Colloquium

Lamont Colloquium is a forum for Lamont students, faculty, and staff to present scholarly projects they have developed in the course of their studies, and share them with the broader Lamont community. It is designed to simulate the experience of presenting at an academic conference. The format for each speaker is a 20-minute scripted presentation, followed by ten minutes for questions. Topics may be anything connected with music: Past presentations have been on topics as diverse as representation of Georgian music in Sid Meier’s Civilization, metric structures in Spanish vihuela music, and issues in twentieth-century Balinese gamelan angklung. Students often use this experience as a stepping-stone to presenting at a regional chapter conference like SMT/AMS/SEM.
