The core theme of the symposium is the impact of creative technologies on artistic possibilities and inclusive ensembles and how to enhance independence for musicians with disabilities. It is a unique gathering of information and knowledge.

Gawain will be announcing a new project as well as talking about Drake Music’s DMLab programme of work to develop new accessible and inclusive music technology, from hackmeets to instruments.
