As a programme, the workshops, Performance Studies Network and Visiting Fellowships will achieve definition of and engagement with the international community of performance researchers. An essential part of CMPCP’s work, following on from CHARM, is to engage with the broader discipline of musicology so as to further position performance studies as a key dimension of the discipline. This will be achieved through CMPCP researchers’ contributions to musicological conferences and journals. However, CMPCP’s purview extends well beyond the world of academe. John Rink’s project has repercussions for performance teaching outside the conservatoire sector (the associated workshops engaging freelance teachers as well as HEI staff). Contact will also be made with the creative industries sector: CMPCP is building on CHARM’s links with the Music Producers Guild and other professional organisations as well as its work in WestFocus, not least through two of the project studentships. Tina K. Ramnarine’s study invites interaction with orchestras and other organisations with educational programmes (e.g. London Symphony Orchestra, South Bank Centre Gamelan, ABRSM and various UK festivals), so bringing new research insights into practical use. CMPCP is also directly engaging with the public through live performances (e.g. in Eric Clarke’s project) and by disseminating research outputs through general interest music magazines and broadcasts. It is thereby attempting to shift the centre of gravity of a discipline whose traditional focus on the score has excluded those for whom musical appreciation may not entail score literacy.
