Leading innovative music research with strong artistic and social outcomes
Our leading-edge research tackles the complex and multi-faceted role that music plays in contemporary society. Through the Creative Arts Research Institute, we collaborate with national and international partners and stakeholders to cultivate projects that are imaginative in content and design, interdisciplinary in nature, and dedicated to addressing the pressing needs of our time.
