About MusicLab Copenhagen

In 2021, one of the world’s finest string quartets, The Danish String Quartet (DSQ), and a large team of international researchers based at RITMO, co-hosted MusicLab Copenhagen – a groundbreaking event where DSQ performed their best repertoire while researchers experimented with, measured, and analyzed the experiences and behavior of musicians and audience.

Some of the questions we tried to answer were: Do we become one grand “we” when absorbed in music together? How do we synchronize our bodily rhythms with the music during a concert?

As an innovative musical and scientific format, the concert has been widely reported and won “Event of the Year” by the Danish National Broadcasting Corporation (DR P2). Now, the researchers have completed their analyses, and we are excited to share findings in a hybrid launch event.
