Annual Conference - 2027

Annual Conference of the Forum for Research in Indian Music

Dates: February , 2027

Venue: Bengaluru, India

Hybrid Mode (In person and Online)

The Forum for Research in Indian Music (FRIM) is a extra-institutional collective of scholars and performers interested in promoting critical research in Indian music and musicology. We aim for the forum to be a space that fosters creative and rigorous research in the music of South Asia, in a spirit of openness and collaboration.

Conference Theme

This is the inaugural international conference of FRIM, organized in the hybrid mode. We seek to have representation for all the investigative styles seen in research in the performing arts: textual, philosophical, historical, empirical, experimental and anthropological, to name but a few. We are keen to include practitioners as well as researchers; and hope that the first FRIM conference serves to connect senior and young researchers with each other.
