This award supports the 2026 Mathematics and Computation for Music (MCM) Conference which is being held at Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, New York, June 23-26, 2026. This conference is the tenth biennial international conference of the Society for Mathematics and Computation in Music, held on alternating sides of the Atlantic. The main goals of the conference are to bring together researchers from around the world who combine mathematics and computation with music theory, music analysis, composition and performance and, to provide a dedicated platform for the communication and exchange of ideas among researchers in mathematics, computer science, music theory, composition and performance, musicology, and related disciplines. The conference includes public concerts and sound installations which exemplify the topics at the intersection of mathematics, computation, and music. Mathematicians and musicians share longstanding interests in classification, acoustics, symmetry, transformation, and structure; MCM provides a primary international forum where these questions are addressed using modern mathematical tools and also advances research at the interface of mathematics, computation, and music theory, focusing on mathematically rigorous models of musical structure, perception, and creativity. The articles that result from the MCM conference will be published in the Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI) series. These articles have undergone a strict peer review p
