• to bring together performers and scientists to kindle a renaissance in twenty-first century piano performance through an examination of the skills that underpin piano performance;
• to generate a more rigorous and effective approach to performing and teaching, a step that is long overdue;
• to use the research findings to develop outreach programmes in less-advantaged areas of London, for the benefit of young people who would otherwise never have the opportunity to enjoy the enriching experience of learning an instrument as powerful as the piano with its enormous potential for self expression and creativeness.

The success of this unique event can only be accomplished through the generosity and support of individuals, companies and charitable trusts.

Cristine MacKie

Chief Executive Director

His approach reflects the aims of LIPS  since he is keen also to  bring together ‘clinicians, educationalists, computer scientists, psychologists, social scientists, design engineers and experts from the visual and performing arts’  to encourage ‘collaborative research at the intersections between traditional disciplinary boundaries’.
