Musical Togetherness Symposium, University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna, Austria
We are pleased to announce that the Musical Togetherness Symposium will be held at the mdw—University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna,
Austria on 13—15 July 2022. This symposium will be a unique opportunity for researchers from different disciplines to exchange ideas about what it means to be "together" in music and how togetherness emerges during different varieties of musical interaction. The symposium is organized
as part of the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) project "Achieving Togetherness in Music Ensembles", led by Laura Bishop and Werner Goebl.
The symposium will include spoken presentations, poster presentations, demonstrations, and a two-part workshop on methods for capture and
analysis of ensemble interaction. We are planning for a hybrid format conference.
We welcome submissions on topics related to ensemble performance and appreciation, including but not limited to:
- Ensemble performance and perception
- Interpersonal dynamics
- Bodily interactions
- Performer-audience interaction
- Teacher-student interaction
- Temporal synchronization
- (Non)-verbal communication
- Methods for studying togetherness
