You are cordially invited to participate in the 43rd ICTM World Conference, which will be held between 16 and 22 July 2015 at
the Kazakh National University of Arts in Astana, Kazakhstan. The ICTM World Conference is the leading international venue for the presentation of new research on music and dance. Many new initiatives emerge at World Conferences and, perhaps even more crucially, discussion at these meetings helps us shape our ongoing work. A successful World Conference—like that in Shanghai, China, in July of 2013—is a truly stimulating place to be and a chance to meet music scholars from all over the world.

Please note that the only valid method for sending proposals is through the online submission form quoted above. Do not submit
