The endowed chair will work on three lines of research which are closely interconnected and also reinforce each other:

• Orchestrating societal relevancy. As a form of art, classical music has always existed in interaction with its social context. What are the implications of this for classical music in our current knowledge society?
• Modernizing cultural participation. It is common for the audience of concert halls to experience classical music largely in a quiet and static way. How then can we innovate the audience’s participation in classical concerts in artistically relevant ways?
• Preservation and adaptation of sounding heritage. Symphony orchestras are institutions of cultural reproduction. How can we develop new and relevant ways of preserving and deploying our symphonic sounding heritage?

S/he must have excellent communicative skills in English; proficiency in Dutch is a plus.
