Together in Music - Expression, Performance and Communication in Ensembles, University of York, 12th -14th April 2018.
Music ensembles can be experienced, investigated and understood from multiple perspectives. Whilst communication and reception by performers and audience members lie at the heart of this, many other elements play a part, including perception, socio-cultural factors, coordination, digital technologies and environment.This conference aims to bring together music performers, academics, and teachers and offer an interdisciplinary perspective on ensemble performance including theory and practice. Disciplines may include among others music education, music performance, psychology, sociology, ethnomusicology, acoustics, aesthetics, computer science, audio engineering, and music technology.
The conference may include spoken presentations, poster sessions, workshops and performance demonstrations. We welcome submissions relevant to the field, including but not limited to the following research areas:
