Royal College of Music, London1st IMA Conference on Mathematics in Music
Conference
The Institute of Mathematics and its Applications will run the first IMA Conference on Mathematics in Music at the Royal College of Music in London, July 13 - July 15, 2022, with the support and sponsorship of the Royal Musical Association.
The conference will focus onto the exploration of the connections between mathematics and music, in particular current developments of music theory, music performance, music perception and music technology based on or inspired by mathematical applications and concepts, including (but not limited to) category theory, group theory, topology, differential geometry, combinatorics, analysis, acoustic theory, as well as artificial intelligence, deep learning, language processing and coding.
The event will feature a plenary session with contributed talks, a poster session, a general-audience lecture and four invited plenary lectures from world renowned researchers in the field:
Prof Emily Howard, Royal Northern College of Music
Prof Guerino Mazzola, University of Minnesota
Prof Geraint Wiggins, Vrije Universiteit Brussel & Queen Mary University of London
Prof Moreno Andreatta, CNRS Director of Research at IRMA, University of Strasburg
More details and registration instructions can be found on the conference website: https://ima.org.uk/18115/ima-maths-in-music-conference/
The organising committee is very keen that student researchers are a core part of this event and would very much like to encourage anyone studying music and mathematics to submit an abstract to join us for this conference. The event will include a student prize for the best submission, with the winning student being awarded a book voucher from the IMA and a free RMA membership from the RMA.
