The MedRen2025 Conference is taking place from June 30 to July 4, gathering over 250 scholars in early music studies across three leading universities: Northumbria, Newcastle, and Durham. This collaborative event is a milestone for the MedRen conference, held for the first time across a university consortium. Notable presentations include research on acoustic reconstruction and historical music theory. Organizers aim to establish the region as a hub for international scholarship in Medieval and Renaissance music, fostering collaboration and showcasing local expertise.
"Those working on Medieval and Renaissance music in all three universities - Northumbria, Newcastle and Durham - came together some years' ago in a spirit of cooperation with a view to making the North East of England an international hub of activity in this area," said Professor David Smith, Head of Music at Northumbria University.
"We recognised that across all three institutions we had world-leading expertise that once pooled would make the North East an attractive place to work and study. We have already collaborated on doctoral supervision and research grant applications, and this major international conference marks another milestone, demonstrating how working closely together can bring huge benefits to the academic and cultural life of the region."
"We are looking forward to welcoming delegates - around 250 of them - from across the globe and showcasing the vibrant musical scholarship happening here in the North-East."
