How can artistic research inspire development in higher music education, and how can the practice within higher music education loop back into further artistic research? Can a continuous interchange between artistic research and higher music education provide vitality to artistic research and higher music education? 

This Keynote highlights these questions through the example of the project Folk Song Lab. 

The Folk Song Lab project aims to develop and explore new models for collective improvisation in traditional folk singing. The aim is to find new models to revitalize and renew today’s folk singing within higher music education and beyond.
