THE DNA OF RESEARCH AT MUSIKENE

At Musikene, research is a key driver of cultural, artistic, and educational development, both locally and globally. Through innovative projects that transcend disciplinary boundaries, we promote high-quality musical research that addresses the challenges of the 21st century.

We develop studies and projects that explore new possibilities in music and art, enhancing the way they are produced, presented, and understood. This interdisciplinary approach fosters collaboration among artists, researchers, and institutions, creating a dynamic ecosystem for knowledge exchange.

We are committed to ensuring that the knowledge generated is accessible, relevant, and impactful on a global scale, aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to contribute to a more inclusive, diverse, and sustainable future.
