Hooray! We are celebrating our 10-year anniversary in 2023! The celebrations will be themed around the future of arts.
We are responsible for doctoral education within the Faculty of Classical Music of the Sibelius Academy.
Our research unit focuses on music performance, church music, as well as composition and music theory. Our wide-ranging artistic activities cover the field of music from antiquity to contemporary music. We have approximately 80 students in three study programmes (artistic, research and applied studies). We encourage our students to develop an individual artist and researcher profile and to discover their own research method and culture.
Our research is multidisciplinary and explores various art forms. It is carried out by individual researchers as well as through externally funded projects. We develop our research activities in cooperation with other researchers at Uniarts Helsinki. We offer our students and researchers an international and active community.
