About us

The AMS South-Central chapter includes the states of Georgia, Kentucky, and Tennessee. Members include professors, independent scholars, students, and those who love music history. If you are a member of the national American Musicological Society and live within the zip codes of our area (as determined by the national office), you are a member of our chapter. All are welcome to attend the annual chapter meetings. We do not charge chapter dues, but there is a conference fee at the chapter meeting.

Spring 2016 Meeting

Parking information (3/17/2016):

We are able to offer free parking on both days for all registered attendees.

The parking on Friday is in the parking deck. Take the parking stub from the machine when you enter the deck. When you pick up your conference folders, you will receive a parking voucher. Note: If you drive out of the deck on Friday, it will be necessary to pay upon returning. However, the external lot becomes free after 4 PM.

The parking on Saturday morning (also free) will be in the external lot, in front of the deck. No voucher is required. All conference events are in nearby buildings, served by deck and lot.
