Call for Proposals open for Doctors in Performance Festival Conference 2025

The University of the Arts Helsinki Sibelius Academy invites music performers and researchers to take part in Doctors in Performance, the sixth festival conference of music performance and artistic research.The Doctors in Performance Festival Conference (DIP) was established in 2014 at the University of the Arts Helsinki. Since then, it has been organized by the following institutions: The Royal Irish Academy of Music (2016, Dublin), The Lithuanian Academy of Music and

The core idea of DIP is to promote performance and research, especially artistic research, by giving performers, composers and researchers the opportunity to present their research projects. DIP places the emphasis on performance itself and we particularly encourage recital and lecture recital submissions, although paper presentations on relevant fields of artistic research are also warmly welcome. 

DIP 2025 will take place in Helsinki, at the Helsinki Music Centre between 3–5 September, 2025. The conference language is English and all presentations should be in English. The keynote speakers of the festival conference are Professor of Folk Music  Kristiina Ilmonen (University of the Arts Helsinki, Sibelius Academy) and Dr.  Inja Stanović (University of Surrey, Department of Music and Media).
