Music Encoding Conference 2014, University of Virginia

You are cordially invited to attend the Music Encoding Conference 2014, which will be held 20-23 May at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Virginia, USA.

The encoding of symbolic music data opens new research paths to traditional music studies (from editing to analysis) and computational musicology, and constitutes a foundational tool for music bibliography and librarianship. The quest for a coherent and universal system for the digital representation of music notation has been pursued for decades and the recent accomplishments of the Music Encoding Initiative have garnered a great deal of attention in a wide range of music scholarship and in the broader digital humanities.

This conference aims to gather specialists in all the above areas, to discuss the current state of modeling, generation and use of music encoding, to exchange experiences, report on successful projects on major collections and composers, and to forge collaborations for future projects.

More details regarding the program, venue, registration and accommodation are available here. Registration will close on 30 April 2014.
