The forthcoming ANIMUSIC Congress 2025 is going to be a phenomenal and memorable occasion not to miss. It is thus worthwhile to mark in your calendar the dates: one ‘fulfilled’ week, from the 17th to the 23rd of July, with plenty concerts, artistic events, a workshop (hands on), a myriad of exclusive visits and enticing lectures, and, above all, a special occasion to learn more about Madeira: very welcoming and interestiong people, the unique culture, and gorgeous islands. We are gathering artists creating and performing in all arts and scientists from all fields, including makers of musical instruments, sound producers, historians, conservators, physicists, psychologists, biologists, doctors… or anyone interested in learning with others and enjoying a one of a kind event. The draft program is impressive and shall be published online soon.

The ‘Call for Papers’ will start in January. You are most welcome to prepare and submit a proposal in any format (paper, lecture-demonstration, lecture-recital, poster, panel, soundspace, exhibition…).

The enhancement and valorisation of our natural and cultural heritage is made through sharing. In the project Erdissol, which embraces ANIMUSIC, it happens.
