Call for proposals European Platform for Artistic Research in Music 4_Nov_24

The European Platform for Artistic Research in Music (EPARM) is an initiative of the European Association of Conservatoires (AEC), acting as a resource for Artistic Research in the specific context of Higher Music Education: sharing knowledge, insights and outputs; promoting and developing the discourse around Artistic Research; incubating new ideas and developments;and offering support and inspiration to AEC members.

The 12th EPARM conference welcomes music researchers, educators, performers and composers to a three-day exploration of artistic research in music at the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre in Tallinn (Estonia).

Deadline for applications is 4 November 2024.

EPARM supports a pluralistic vision of Artistic Research, recognising different possible definitions, methods, and forms of dissemination. Nonetheless,at the core of all such research is the artistic practice itself, which functions not only as an object of study, but as a source of significant questions and a means of pursuing original insights. It is an expectation that presentations at EPARM will include performance or the presentation of original work.

Presentations relating to any aspect of Artistic Research in music are welcomed at the 12 th EPARM conference, but the peer review panel will prioritise presentations that give some consideration to one or more of the following:

  • Artistic Research that draws on, or brings into a new relationship, different musical fields (such as, for example, Electroacoustic Music and Early Music) or contexts (such as, for example, academic and health contexts)
  • The ethics of artistic practice and Artistic Research (for example, viewing them as sources of ethical decision-making)
  • How Artistic Research relates to artistic agency (individual and/or collective) in different settings
  • The practical and ethical considerations around Artistic Research that is co-created with other researchers, artists, audiences or the wider public
