The Sixth Brazilian Symposium on Computer Music saw researchers from various countries discussing their experiences in a friendly and informal atmosphere. The Seventh Brazilian Symposium, chaired by Bernadete Zagonel (musica2000@uol.com.br), will be held in Curitiba, the capital of the Paraná state, from 17 to 20 July 2000, as part of the XX Congress of the Brazilian Computing Society. The Brazilian Symposia are organized by NUCOM, the computer music branch of the Brazilian Computing Society and pride themselves on their intercultural nature and selection policies.

Roger Dannenberg (USA) and Leigh Landy (UK) will deliver the keynote speeches. There will be paper presentations, concerts, tutorials and product demonstrations. Researchers, composers, educators, manufactures and all concerned with the interplay between music and technology are invited to submit papers, compositions, tutorial projects and product demonstration proposals.
