We are pleased to announce the 6th International Music Conference entitled "Music and Society". The conference aims to provide a high-level international forum for researchers, educators, and performing artists working in the fields of music education, musicology, and musical performance.
The primary objective of the conference is to encourage professional dialogue and the exchange of ideas concerning the relationship between music and society. Particular emphasis is placed on contemporary research results, innovative pedagogical practices, and artistic approaches that shape the present and future of music education, research, and performance.
Through academic presentations and workshop sessions, the conference seeks to offer participants comprehensive insight into current theoretical frameworks, methodological approaches, and practical perspectives relevant to the social, cultural, and educational dimensions of music.
A key goal of the event is to strengthen international professional networks by providing space for the sharing of experiences, research outcomes, and diverse viewpoints, as well as by fostering dialogue between different musical cultures and disciplines.
We warmly invite scholars, teachers, and music professionals whose presentations or workshops contribute to a deeper understanding of the connections between music and society, and who wish to actively participate in shaping the future directions of music education and research.
