The aim of the Russian Music Theory Interest Group (SMT-Rus) is to discuss, promote, and engage with Russian theoretical traditions, which offer new approaches to musical meaning, harmony, voice leading, and form, with a special emphasis on topics little studied by Western scholars, including functional modality and tonal mutability. This interest group was inaugurated at the 2013 meeting of the Society for Music Theory in Charlotte, NC.

      The Russian Music Interest Group will elect a new chair in November 2022, soon after the SMT annual meeting. Nominations and self-nominations are welcome at this time! If you have published or presented on topics relevant to Russian music or music scholarship, and if you are invested in the future of the group, you might be a good candidate. If you are interested in the chair position, please send me your bio (and include something about your interest in Russian materials, or to anything that’s written in the Russian language about music), so I can read it to the group membership at the November 10 meeting. We will then vote electronically soon after the conference. My email is ellen.bakulina@mcgill.ca .

      The chair duties include organizing the annual meeting of the IG, maintaining this website, and reporting to the SMT vice president about the group’s activities. Of course, the chair is welcome to organize something a top of this, if you wish!

      Looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible in New Orleans,

      -Ellen
