CMPCP's programme of research
involves scholar-participants at all stages of the academic
career cycle. Its work can be summarised as follows:
Four complementary research projects are being pursued;
one is based at the lead institution (University
of Cambridge) in collaboration with the Guildhall School
of Music & Drama and the Royal College of Music, while
the others are located at the partner institutions (King’s
College London, University of Oxford, Royal Holloway). In
order of start date the projects comprise:
Associated research work is being undertaken by Nicholas
Cook (Cambridge), who will produce a monograph
that reflects and synthesises CMPCP’s research findings.
Each research project includes a set of workshops,
with roughly one annual workshop per project.
Workshop participants will be invited to join a national/international
Performance
Studies Network of musicians and scholars drawn from
historical and analytical musicology, psychology of music,
ethnomusicology, performance pedagogy and composition, and
with input from the creative industries. This network will
hold three major conferences, to be held in July 2011, December 2012
and March 2014.
Three project students are undertaking doctoral research
on designated topics relevant to CMPCP’s work: two
of them are extending the concept of creative practice into
the study of classical
and pop record
production. Studentships are available to support their work.
Visiting
Fellowships will allow UK and international scholars
to spend study periods of one to three months at the Centre.
