The names of the Keynote Speakers are now online!

With a total of ten keynote bridge lectures, a broad range of current music therapy topics will be covered, highlighting their relevance to health policy and society and initiating new research impulses in music therapy.

The keynote presentations are planned to build bridges between disciplines and perspectives. We start with an umbrella review, that builds a bridge to arts therapies and arts-based interventions. Following this overview presentation, there will be three keynote panels. Together with experts, the following three topics relevant to the music therapy community were identified:

(1) music therapy and psychotherapy research,
(2) music therapy in society and
(3) medicine and music psychology for music therapy.

We have come up with a special ‚Bridges’ format for these presentations. Each keynote panel will be introduced by a non-music therapist. Two music therapists will then form a bridge to the presentation.
