Symposium: The Music of the Sea: Connecticut Sea Music Festival: Essex
June 6 - June 9
The 2025 Symposium on the Music of the Sea, directed for the fourth year in a row by Dr. Faye Ringel, will be held at the Essex Town Hall at 29 West Ave, Essex, CT from 9 AM-4:15 PM on Friday, June 6, 2025, with a break for lunch (coffee at 8:30 am). Keep your eyes on the festival grid for an exciting bonus presentation and workshop Saturday morning! The Symposium is free to attend, and Friday’s presentations will be uploaded to our YouTube channel following the festival for those who are unable to attend in-person.
For over 40 years, international academics, independent scholars, and performer researchers have gathered in Mystic and Essex to share their passion for and original research of the music of the sea. The Symposium links them with knowledgeable and enthusiastic audiences, providing scholarship that is entertaining and enlightening. Presentations will be videotaped and followed by a Q&A.
