The North American British Music Studies Association (NABMSA) will 
hold its Third Biennial Conference from 31 July to 3 August 2008 at 
York University in Toronto, Canada.

NABMSA's third conference will once again bring together scholars and 
lovers of British music from all academic fields and parts of the 
world for two and a half days of papers, discussions, and musical 
performances.  We welcome papers examining all time periods of 
British music and musical life, all geographical regions of Britain, 
and all uses of British music outside of Britain.  We are 
particularly interested in papers that examine this music in an 
interdisciplinary or cultural context.  We especially welcome student 
papers, which will be eligible for the second biennial Temperley 
prize for the best student paper presented at the NABMSA conference.

Abstracts of up to 500 words for 20-25 minute individual papers, for 
paper sessions, or for lecture recitals should be sent by 1 February 
2008 to Byron Adams, University of California, Music Department, Arts 
146, 900 University Ave, Riverside CA 92521; or by e-mail to 
byronadams at earthlink.net.
