1 CMS Southern Chapter Regional Conference February 25 – 27, 2021 Virtual Conference 2 A Message from the CMS Southern Chapter President Welcome to the 42nd Annual Conference of the CMS Southern Chapter! What a wonderful conference we had last year in Nashville at Vanderbilt, though it would end up being one of the few CMS regional conferences that took place in the spring. The year 2020 was indeed a difficult one, with a global pandemic, severe economic hardship and uncertainty, and a polarizing political climate during an election year. Like many other CMS chapters, we’re holding our conference online this year, and preparing for this conference has been unlike any other year in the 42 years of existence. But we charge ahead! This year’s conference will include all of the excellent performances, demonstrations, papers, posters, panels, and concerts that would occur during any year. Oral presentations (papers, panels, demonstrations, lecture recitals, and posters) will occur via Zoom meetings hosted by the session chair. All concerts will also occur on Zoom, and performances are pre- recorded and shared during the event by the session host. AirMeet will serve as our platform for hosting all Zoom sessions. Links to sessions are found in the AirMeet link (provided to all registrants via email). We are honored to have Dr. Gloria Ladson-Billings as our keynote speaker this year. Dr. Ladson-Billings is a renowned pedagogical theorist and teacher/educator. She will be joining us via Zoom on Saturday at 1pm for a presentation and Q&A session regarding her research as well as the powerful role music can play in change, reconstruction, and inclusivity. Thank you for attending this year’s conference, and even though we’re online, we hope you create wonderful experiences from a packed weekend of music, research, discussion, reflection, networking, and friendship. We hope you take advantage of all of our opportunities this weekend.
