Awesome week at #AEConservatoires #EPARM2025 in Tallinn, sharing #ComingUpForAirInLocation - a new art-research initiative led by Kathryn Williams & myself on critical effects & impact of indoor air quality, and raising public awareness through music #IAQ #ArtisticResearch @rncmprism.bsky.social

📌 Three days of dialogue, collaboration, and meaningful exchange — that’s what #EPARM2025 was all about.

180 participants from over 20 countries gathered for the European Platform for #ArtisticResearch in Music at the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre in #Tallinn from 3 to 5 April 2025.

The AEC #Pop & #Jazz Platform is in full swing at the Conservatorio Superior de Música de Navarra (CSMN) in Pamplona 🌍The theme for the 2025 edition is Mother Tongue: European Identities in Heritage, Pedagogy, and Repertoire. #highermusiceducation #AECPJP2025

Great to be back in #AEC Land for the annual Pop-Jazz-Platform (#PJP) meeting - looking forward to many inspiring conversations w/my European colleagues on #HigherMusicEducation and #PopularMusic & #GlobalMusic

Key messaging from our event: Europe must shape its future with:

✅ A strong cultural dimension—A Cultural Deal for Europe—making culture and heritage a top priority in EU policies.

✅ A commitment of at least 2% for culture and heritage in the next EU budget (MFF).
