It is with immense sadness that we report the death of Dr David Connolly, who passed away on 28 April 2020. He had been a member of the SMI since 2005. David was a Lecturer in the Department of Creative Arts, Media and Music at Dundalk Institute of Technology, and a much-loved colleague also at Maynooth University. He graduated from Maynooth University with a first-class honours degree in music and mathematics, a first-class honours MA in performance and musicology and a Higher Diploma in Education.

Owing to the COVID-19 situation, the SMI plenary conference originally scheduled for 25-27 June has been postponed and is now planned for 29-31 October. Further updates will be posted at https://musicologyireland.com/SMI-2020
