Research fields
Within the Research Center, artistic activity (musical performance and/or creation) is recognized as equivalent to scientific research. It takes place on two levels: fundamental research, which addresses theoretical aspects such as harmony, musical forms, counterpoint, orchestration, music history, aesthetics, stylistics, ethnomusicology, music criticism, and cultural management; and applied research, focused on aspects of performance theory and musical creation. Interdisciplinary themes receive special attention.
The Center approaches topics in performance, musicology, music pedagogy, folklore, contemporary creation, and artistic interdisciplinarity, with emphasis on performance excellence and educational innovation.
