Collaborate pilot project

In 2021 we set up a pilot project to fully test the aims and processes of our Collaborate fund.

The pilot project is a research partnership between Manchester Camerata and Dr Michelle Phillips, a senior lecturer at the Royal Northern College of Music.

Working together, they are exploring how listeners respond neurologically, behaviourally and physiologically to different music listening experiences. The project will also investigate whether responses differ between live and recorded performances, an increasing area of interest since the Covid-19 pandemic.

Collaborate projects

Our Collaborate fund supports innovative new research partnerships between cultural sector practitioners and academics. The fund has two rounds – one in autumn 2021 and one in autumn 2022.

Find out more about the five selected projects from the first round in autumn 2021:

Collaborate research project. A large black square structure in the centre of leeds Market. The structure has a range of screens on it, one screen has the word ‘Time Bar’ written on it, one is playing a video of a person, one has a pub quiz. A group of people are watching the screens.
