RITMO is excited to host a workshop on the emerging field of live concert research. This follows an increasing interest in live concert research in recent years. 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.
The workshop will take place at the University of Oslo and will be streamed via Zoom.
