"European Network for the Philosophy of Music II: AI in Music"

The European Network for the Philosophy of Music (ENPM) is a network of philosophers of music and researchers from related disciplines, educated or affiliated with European academic institutions, broadly understood as including both EU and non-EU countries.

The main goal of the ENPM is to promote research in the philosophy of music, facilitating the development of existing debates and stimulating the emergence of new topics and discussions. For that purpose, the ENPM promotes connections and exchanges of academics focused on the philosophy of music and serves as a platform to generate further associations between scholars to apply for EU and non-EU funding.

The 2025 Edition of the Festival will highlight the intersections between music and artificial intelligence. The ENPM welcomes submissions on any topic in the philosophy of music. However, to foster the cooperation with the Festival Musica, the ENPM encourages submissions focused on the relationship between music and AI, from a philosophical perspective.

The confirmed keynote speakers for the conference are Lydia Goehr (Fred and Fannie Mack Professor of Humanities, Department of Philosophy, Columbia University), and Alexander Schubert, a contemporary composer and Professor at Musikhochschule Hamburg, who will also premiere a new work at the 2025 Edition of the Festival Musica.

The conference will include a panel on music and AI, featuring the keynote speaker Alexander Schubert along with David Trippett (University of Cambridge), Ferdia Stone-Davies (University of Cambridge and University of Arts Graz), and Pierre Saint-Germier (IRCAM).

The ENPM Conference will also feature two sessions of the conference Music and Action, co-organized by Alessandro Bertinetto (University of Turin) and Daniel Martin Feige (Staatliche Akademie der Bildenden Künste Stuttgart).
