XR in Musical Performance and Engagement: Potentials, Practices, and Perspectives

25–26 May 2027
Gustav Mahler University of Music, Klagenfurt am Wörthersee, Austria

Extended Reality (XR) technologies — here understood primarily as Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR) — are opening up new possibilities for musical performance, creative practice, education, and audience engagement. At the same time, they raise important questions about perception, embodiment, participation, accessibility, learning, sustainability, and the changing relationships between performers, audiences, technologies, and institutions.

The two-day symposium XR in Musical Performance and Engagement: Potentials, Practices, and Perspectives brings together researchers, musicians, educators, artists, and technologists to explore the artistic, psychological, pedagogical, and technological dimensions of XR in musical contexts. Combining academic exchange with artistic and practice-based exploration, the symposium aims to foster interdisciplinary dialogue and to provide opportunities for experiencing, testing, and critically discussing XR applications in practice.
