The AHRC Research Centre for Musical Performance as Creative Practice
(CMPCP) has recently launched a JISC email forum as part of its Performance
Studies Network. The purpose of the Network is to facilitate interaction
between musicians and scholars working across a spectrum of disciplines, to
develop an increasingly inclusive and cohesive community of performance
studies specialists and other interested parties, and to lay the foundation
for continuing dialogue and collaboration after CMPCP's funding ends in
2014. The new email forum - entitled PERF-STUD-NET - is open to anyone who
wishes to exchange ideas and be kept informed about performance-related
research, events and activities taking place around the world.

The Performance Studies Network will also feature an extensive web resource
(to be released in 2010-11), in addition to hosting three international
conferences in Cambridge in July 2011, December 2012 and March 2014. Full
details will be released in due course.

CMPCP is based at the University of Cambridge in partnership with King's
College London, the University of Oxford and Royal Holloway, University of
London, and in association with the Guildhall School of Music & Drama and
the Royal College of Music. It is the Phase 2 successor to the AHRC Research
Centre for the History and Analysis of Recorded Music (CHARM), also funded
by the Arts and Humanities Research Council. CMPCP's five-year research
programme focuses on live musical performance and creative music-making.
