RMA Study Group Music and/as Process 10th Annual Conference: Making Music Together
The RMA Study Group Music and/as Process is pleased to announce their tenth annual conference, which will take place at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire on 30 June to 2 July 2023.
The conference will address processes of collective music-making and will include presentations, lecture recitals and performances.
The range and quality of the research and performances presented at our conferences since Music and/as Process began in 2013 led us, for this our tenth annual event, to address one of the most fundamental yet complex topics: making music together. This subject has been brought sharply into focus by the fact that our two most recent conferences have taken place online (due to the pandemic in 2021, and rail strikes in 2022). The resulting discussions and reflections on the need for communal and collective music making have given rise to this being the central subject for the conference that sees the RMA Study Group Music and/as Process mark its first decade.
The conference will include presentations, lecture recitals and workshops with Ingrid Plum, Alistair Zaldua, Alana Blackburn, Lauren Redhead, Josh Spear, James McIlwrath, Matthew Burke, Kevin Leomo and Simon Hellewell, Clare Lesser, James Fullegar, Tom Armstrong, and Madeleine Shapiro, Lara James and Leah Kardos, Sam Hayden and Teal Darkenwald, Maya Verlaak, Peter Nagle and Emily Shapiro, Rebecca Lee, Emmanuelle Waeckerlé, Alison Stevens, Anita Tomasevich and Andreja Andric, and Nina Whiteman.
At the heart of the 2023 conference will be an inclusive group performance that will be open for anyone to participate in (more details to follow).
