The London International Piano Symposium, February 2015
Welcome to The Art and Science of Piano Performance, an interdisciplinary symposium for the enhancement of teaching and performance in the twenty-first century.
We announce the second of the three, three-day London International Piano Symposium. It will be held at the Royal College of Music in London on the 13th, 14th, & 15th of February 2015. For the first time these symposia will provide an opportunity to hear papers, lecture recitals and debates on piano performance by distinguished researchers and practitioners working at the shared boundaries of science and music. We warmly welcome everyone interested in the performance of piano music: performers, scientists, academics, teachers, young people, and all those who love just to listen.
Background:
In recent years, the term ‘performance science’ has created an umbrella under which ideas and research from a wide range of scientific and musical fields are being encouraged to create a more unified approach to musical performance. This second symposium will bring together world class performers and scientists to discuss the role of the mind, body and soul of the performer with the aim of preparing for a more unified performance.
