A research group on the history of the International Musicological Society (IMS) was founded in 2017 at the Russian Institute for the History of Arts by a number of scientists participating in the publication IMS-History (2017); its leaders are Dorothea Baumann (Zurich) and Zhanna Kniazeva (St. Petersburg). The first two sessions of the group took place in St. Petersburg (October 2017) and Lucerne (July 2018). As part of the videoconference, the third working session of the group will be held.

The seminars will take place via Zoom. In order to join the seminar, please email the convenors (history@musicology.org) by midday the day before the seminar with just the message line ‘History of the IMS panel attendee’ followed by your full name as it will appear on Zoom.
