This symposium features papers presented by research students on our Master of Philosophy (MPhil), Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) and Doctor of Music in Performance (DMus) degree programmes. There is also a panel discussion with colleagues across the Faculty of Arts and Humanities at TU Dublin on the topic of 'Developing a research cluster: community, creativity, and interdisciplinarity'.
TU Dublin Conservatoire has developed an active research profile in the areas of musicology, performance, music education and composition. The Conservatoire is also home to the Research Foundation for Music in Ireland. Our staff and students produce a wealth of research outputs that make a significant contribution to our understanding and knowledge of the creative and performing arts.
