PCC Presents: Resonate Festival

Exploring Practice-Based Research in Music.

The two-day Resonate Festival puts practice-based research on the center stage. Second-year master’s students will present the results of the research projects they undertook as part of the Practice-based Research course. During the festival, you will also be able to attend workshops, round tables and presentations led by teachers of the Prins Claus Conservatorium. The winner of the Practice-Based Research Award will be announced on the second day of the festival.

Practice based research

Practice-based research is one of the courses students work on during their Master of Music. The work and outcomes of this course directly contribute to the development of each student’s professional practice. Therefore, every student designs a research project that benefits their development as a musician. Research projects by students who have received the Practice-Based Research Award in previous years focused on concepts such as audience connection, improvisation, authenticity and storytelling.

Why ‘Resonate’?

The term ‘resonate’ can be understood in different ways. Through the lens of physics, it can be described as the reinforcement or prolongation of sound by reflection. From a sociological perspective, resonation is about emotional relationships and ways in which we relate to the world around us (Rosa, 2019). With the title of this event, we refer to both meanings in hopes that both the presented research and music resonate with you.

Free entry without reservation.
