The Royal Northern College of Music’s Hub for Artistic Research in Performance (HARP) will host a 2-day research conference to be held in Manchester, England on June 28-9, 2018. Amy will be presenting a lecture-recital titled "Contemporary, Classical Music Demystified: Spotlight on Canada" featuring works for solo violin by Jacques Hétu and Jeffrey Ryan.

Keynote speakers will include Dr Luk Vaes (Orpheus Institute, Belgium) and the conference will incorporate forums and a research student training event. Artistic performance research remains at an exciting stage of development. While presenting challenges there are also rich opportunities for developing new methodologies and engaging with musicians who have not previously viewed their practice through a research lens.
