Song, Stage and Screen
A Note from the Conference Co-Chairs
Welcome, everyone. Song, Stage and Screen is back!
Registration for the conference will open in late Spring 2024. Stay tuned for updates and information.
We have sourced a few options for local accommodations close to Lincoln Center, dining options within walking distance of the library, and places you can purchase discounted theatre tickets.
Graduate students: if you are looking for free local housing or to host an out-of-town graduate student, the ISSM graduate student committee requests that you complete this form and they will connect interested parties.
We can’t wait to see you in June!
