Queensland Conservatorium Research Centre

Queensland Conservatorium Research Centre initiates, realises and supports music research that addresses key issues in the musical realities of today. It explores issues that are at the heart of contemporary musical practice and development, engaging directly with musicians, audiences, communities, the music industry, and scholars from a range of backgrounds in Australia and abroad.
