The Association for Korean Music Research (AKMR) was founded in 1995 during the 40th annual meeting of the Society for Ethnomusicology (SEM). The AKMR is an international community of scholars and performers devoted to promoting, exchanging, and advancing the in-depth study of Korean music as a distinctive cluster of traditions. Presidents of the Association have included, in order, Professors Byong Won Lee, Robert Provine, Andrew Killick, Nathan Hesslink, and Keith Howard. The AKMR offers a prize in recognition of the most distinguished student paper on Korean music presented at the annual SEM meeting.
