The Orpheus Research Festival is our annual showcase event of research, music and ideas, now in its seventh edition.
The Festival is now established as a beacon for artistic research in music and has drawn the attention of artistic researchers from all over the world. The Festival presents the full range of research at the Orpheus Institute into the processes and contexts of music making—work that addresses questions at the heart of the artist’s musical practice. Whether imagining the future or re-imagining the past, the diversity of artistic research at Orpheus sheds new light on our shared musical present.
Curated by Director of Research Jonathan Impett and theatre director Johan Petri, these concerts, presentations and lectures form a framework around which guests are encouraged to participate, to respond, provoke and discuss. The Orpheus Institute is pleased to welcome composer Christian Wolff as artist-in-residence at this year’s Festival.
