Recently, there has been an increasing interest in live concert research. Questions regarding the concept and uniqueness of live musical events from the perspective and the benefits of audience members, musicians, and researchers are becoming central to the field of music. This workshop aims to explore and discuss aspects of live performance research, including but not limited to the following topics:
- Benefits, limitations, and challenges of conducting concert research
- Methodologies for investigating live concerts
- Combining scientific research and science communication
- Performers’ and audience’s absorption, engagement, and coordination during live performances
- Onsite and remote audience experiences
This workshop presents a unique opportunity for academics to engage in interdisciplinary collaboration. By bridging the gaps between various theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches, we aim to inspire innovative directions in live concert studies that capture the authenticity of musical experiences.
We are happy to announce that Professor Laurel Trainor, Professor Hauke Egermann and Professor Melanie Wald-Fuhrmann, renowned experts in the field, will be our esteemed guest speakers.
We welcome contribution proposals for onsite or remote oral presentations by 15 July 2024, including a maximum 200-word abstract.
The workshop will take place at the University of Oslo and will be streamed via Zoom. This event is free of charge. Lunch and refreshments will be provided to those attending onsite.
