Svenska samfundet för musikforskning välkomnar forskare inom alla områdets discipliner till den årliga konferensen Musikforskning idag. Konferensen äger rum den 7–9 oktober med start 13.00 på onsdagen och slut 16.00 på fredagen. Musikforskning idag välkomnar bidrag med fritt val av tematik och relaterade till allt slags forskning inom musikvetenskap, musikpedagogik, konstnärlig forskning i musik, musikteori, musikterapi, musikpsykologi samt musikrelaterad forskning inom andra discipliner. Konferensen välkomnar särskilt bidrag inom årets tema och uppmuntrar deltagande från doktorander och masterstudenter.

Musikforskning idag anordnar ett inledande tvärdisciplinärt seminarium för doktorander vid svenska lärosäten, med start på kvällen den 6 oktober och seminarium på förmiddagen den 7 oktober. Ambitionen är att stimulera samtal över disciplingränserna, och skapa och utveckla kontaktytor genom en modererad dialog.

Årets konferens har ett särskilt fokus på Musical Performance vilket återspeglas i årets två keynote-presentationer. Musical Performance kommer därigenom utgöra en röd tråd genom programmet, samtidigt som en mångfald av andra perspektiv på musikforskning karaktäriserar helheten. Årets keynote speaker blir Daniel Leech-Wilkinson, Emeritus Professor of Music på Kings College London, vars keynote har rubriken "Feeling Performance: if music models lived experience, what follows?" samt Sofia Dahl vars keynote har titeln "Movement to sound - sound to movement".

Our next conference will take place on October 7th - 9th, 2026 in Stockholm with the Royal College of Music as our host. Doctoral students are welcome to an extra event in the beginning of the conference, starting on the afternoon of October 6th. The registration is now open: https://musikforskning.se/form/registrering-2026.

Musikforskning idag (Music research today) brings music researchers in all disciplines together. The conference will take place on October 7th - 9th, starting 1pm on the Wednesday and ending 4pm on the Friday. The conference welcomes contributions on any topic related to research in musicology, music pedagogy, artistic research in music, music theory, music therapy, music psychology and music-related research in other disciplines. The conference particularly welcomes contributions related to this year’s theme and encourages participation from doctoral and master's students.

Musikforskning idag is organizing an introductory cross-disciplinary seminar for doctoral students at Swedish universities, starting on the evening of October 6th. The ambition is to stimulate conversation across disciplinary boundaries, and to create and develop contact surfaces through a moderated dialogue.

This year's conference has a special focus on Musical Performance, which is reflected in the keynote presentations. This theme will thereby lay the groundwork for a coherent series of sessions across the program, while a diversity of other perspectives on music research will fill out the full picture.This year's keynote speaker will be Daniel Leech-Wilkinson, Emeritus Professor of Music at Kings College London, whose keynote is titled "Feeling Performance: if music models lived experience, what follows?" and Sofia Dahl whose presentation is titled "Movement to sound - sound to movement".

Daniel Leech-Wilkinson

Daniel Leech-Wilkinson is Emeritus Professor of Music at King’s College London. He studied initially at London’s Royal College of Music (harpsichord, organ and composition), followed by a doctorate and a research career in medieval music. Around 2000 he changed focus to consider the evidence of early recordings in relation to the practice and experience of performance expressivity, drawing on performance studies and music psychology. He led research projects on 'Expressivity in Schubert Song Performance' (2004–9) and 'Shaping Music in Performance' (2009–14). Books include The Modern Invention of Medieval Music (Cambridge, 2002), The Changing Sound of Music (CHARM, 2009), Music and Shape(with Helen Prior; Oxford, 2018), and Challenging Performance: Classical Music Performance Norms and How to Escape Them which is freely available at https://challengingperformance.com/the-book/. He acted as Dramaturg for Helios Collective’s ‘Dido & Belinda’ (2016), a feminist re-reading of Purcell’s ‘Dido & Aeneas’ (available on YouTube). His recent work questions foundational beliefs about ‘proper’ classical performance and promotes creativity guided only by the quality of the felt experience of music in real time. A fuller list of publications, many with texts, is available at https://www.kcl.ac.uk/people/daniel-leech-wilkinson.
