Last week, I had the honour of contributing to the EPARM Conference 2025 (European Platform for Artistic Research in Music) with my presentation "Chamber Music as Social Utopia? On Ethics and Social Responsibility of Musical Practice”.

Although I wasn’t able to travel to Tallinn in person this time, I’m grateful for the opportunity to participate virtually and connect with colleagues from across Europe. It was a wonderful experience to share my thoughts and questions with such an engaged and inspiring community, even from a distance.

My presentation focused on chamber music as a potential space for social utopias—a field of shared responsibility, relational knowledge, and transformative artistic practice. The discussion that followed was incredibly enriching and reaffirmed the importance of continuing to explore the ethical and societal dimensions of music-making within Artistic Research.

I’m returning (virtually and intellectually) from EPARM with fresh ideas, valuable feedback, and a renewed sense of connection to the broader international research community. Many thanks to the organisers and to everyone who joined the conversation!
