While the 'New' musicology of the 1990s brought cultural studies to the heart of musicology, another less trumpeted but equally important development has been that of empirical approaches to music: once seen as the preserve of music psychology and sociology, there is a growing realization that such approaches can be brought to bear on a wide range
of musicological issues and problems. This conference will explore the diversity of empirical approaches to music today, and situate musicology in the context of its disciplinary neighbours.
