Pacific Northwest Regional Conference

Welcome to the Pacific Northwest Chapter of the College Music Society. Established in 1988, our chapter includes nearly 300 CMS members in Alaska, Northern California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, western Montana, and western Idaho. In line with the College Music Society’s mission, our chapter proudly promotes music teaching and learning, musical creativity and expression, research and dialogue, and diversity and interdisciplinary interaction. Our annual Regional Conference includes paper presentations, panels, lecture-recitals, CMS composers' concerts, CMS performer recitals, student papers and compositions, workshops, poster sessions, and demonstrations that relate to all aspects of music creation, performance, scholarship, teaching, learning, career considerations, and other areas of interest to the music profession.
