Curatorial Practices in Music

In brief

Delve into your curatorial roles in music practice

In our changing world, there is a need in the music sector to rethink relationships between music and its audiences, devise new hybrid formats with corresponding financial structures, and align musical goals with influential themes of modern life. This is where effective curatorship becomes invaluable. But what exactly is 'curating,' and what does 'the curatorial' mean in the context of music?

In the online lifelong learning course 'Curatorial Practices in Music,' you will explore ways to collectively and individually redefine the roles of performer, facilitator, creative producer, and music curator, and contemplate their potential significance. What tasks does a music curator undertake? How can curatorship enhance the core of your musical practice? What values and functions of music would you like to explore and develop further?
