Music for Social Impact: and international comparative study of musician practitioners

Description

Invited presentation to the Research Seminar series of the Royal Northern College of Music.

Abstract: Who are the musicians who work in socially engaged music projects and what informs their practice? This presentation will outline the aims and scope of a 3-year AHRC-funded study (see:https://www.gsmd.ac.uk/about_the_school/research/funded_research_projects/mus ic_for_social_impact/), and present findings from a initial documentary scoping of the field (in four countries, Belgium, Colombia, Finland, and the UK), along with preliminary UK data from an online survey of practitioners. We will discuss next steps and challenges for the work, and open a discussion of how findings from research such as this may assist the further development of reflective practice.
