Join the launch of the AHRC Hub for Public Engagement with Music Research as part of the University of Southampton Arts and Humanities Festival.

The team at Southampton's Centre for Music Education and Social Justice is excited to be hosting this innovative new national Hub, which will provide training and funding for 4 'spoke' projects that bring together researchers and non-academic music organisations. While spoke project applications are not open to University of Southampton academics we hope that University colleagues will attend the Launch to hear about the work of the Hub, and signpost to others.

The launch, which will take place on Highfield Campus, will begin with a series of short presentations from University leaders and the project team in Building 2A, Room 2077 at 5:00pm.

We will provide an overview of the Hub, including how we will support the development of co-created public engagement research projects focused on music and social justice.

These slightly more formal proceedings will be followed at 6:00pm with celebratory drinks (soft provided by us, but bar available!) and snacks in the foyer of Turner Sims.

The BBC Singers will then perform a programme of Southampton faculty composers and Joby Talbot at 7:30pm. Please note: tickets should be purchased separately for the concert.
