🎨 ARTISTIC RESEARCH – IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT 🎶

The application call for the PhD program in Musical Composition and Performance (42nd Cycle) has been published! 🎓✨

The doctoral consortium of the Conservatories of Pescara, Ferrara, Trieste, and Udine is super inspiring and includes numerous doctoral meetings, networking opportunities, performances, colloquia, conferences, periods abroad… 🌍🎻🎹

The research tracks are interdisciplinary and bring together an extraordinary, targeted series of exploratory fields.

👇 HERE ARE THE RESEARCH AREAS FEATURED IN THE CALL: 👇

🎭 Performance and creativity: relationships between theory and practice, new performance and executive modes beyond the traditional concert, impact of technology, and Historically Informed Performance.
🎻 Lutherie: from historical instruments to electronic and hybrid models, manufacturing techniques, acoustics, restoration, environmental sustainability, and new technologies (e.g., 3D printing).
🎼 Creative processes in composition and improvisation: compositional methodologies, estemporaneous interaction and improvisation, alternative grammars, notation, and the relationship with technologies.
🔊 Performative and sound space: exploration of sound in space, site-specific composition/performance, and the relationship between soundscapes and human perception.
