Promoting the study, understanding and enjoyment of the musics of the world to a wide range of music lovers: from academics, librarians, composers and performers to private scholars.
The NZMS was formed in 1981, with the aim of advancing musicological study and research in New Zealand, and encouraging and assisting cooperation between institutions interested in musicology. It holds regular conferences and symposia which provide a forum for its members to meet, report on their research and discuss current issues.
Major events in the Society's recent history have been joint conferences with the Musicological Society of Australia (MSA) in Auckland (1994), Sydney (2000), Wellington (2003), Brisbane (2007), Hamilton (2008) (including a Lilburn Symposium) which attracted scholars from New Zealand, Australia, Asia, China, the Pacific, the United States and Europe.
The Society has sought a broad profile and accordingly has welcomed music lovers with a wide range of backgrounds and interests. This is always reflected in the wide range of topics covered in conference papers. Society members are engaged in musical research, whether historical, bibliographical, analytical or ethnomusicological. Although many are academics, others are librarians, composers, performers, private scholars or individuals with a general interest in the world of music.
