TU Dublin Conservatoire's Research Symposium Series celebrates and highlights the research activities at TU Dublin Conservatoire, and provides an opportunity for staff, students, graduates, and visiting scholars and performers to share their research and practice. 

We are delighted to welcome Professor Jennifer Walshe, University of Oxford, as our guest speaker for her keynote address, ' 13 Ways of Looking at AI, Art & Music’.  

There is a particular focus on composition with our keynote address, two papers on composer-performer collaborations and an online composition seminar with Emma O’Hallaron. We will end the symposium with the launch of a CD recording by guitar lecturer, Marco Ramelli, featuring the music of Federico Mompou. 

The symposium also features papers presented by students on our Master of Music (MMus), Master of Philosophy (MPhil), Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) and Doctor of Music in Performance (DMus) degree programmes. 

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.
