Season 7 of OSiMTA marks a change in format from the first six seasons. In place of twice-termly meetings with one invited speaker, sessions will take place once a term with a larger number of position papers and responses around a focused theme, in order to encourage greater engagement and discussion. We are calling these seminars New Voices in Music Analysis, and each session will be curated by one of the latest generation of Oxford researchers in music theory and analysis.
