Yesterday (29th April 2026), the Centre for Digital Music (C4DM), part of the School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science, hosted the inaugural event of the London Interdisciplinary Music Research Initiative (LIMRI) - bringing together leading researchers and practitioners from across London to explore the science, scholarship, and art of expert musical performance.

The afternoon workshop, titled Interdisciplinary Conversations on Expert Performance, took place at Queen Mary University of London's Mile End Campus and featured four invited speakers from King's College London, Imperial College London, City St George's University of London, and the Royal College of Music.

LIMRI is a newly launched cross-London network designed to foster collaboration and dialogue between researchers working across music, technology, science and the arts. The initiative is co-led by Dr Charalampos Saitis, Lecturer in Digital Music Processing alongside colleagues from Goldsmiths, Kingston University London, and King's College London.

LIMRI was formally launched in December 2025. Yesterday's workshop was the first in a series of themed research events that LIMRI plans to host at different institutions across London. Further details about the initiative can be found on the LIMRI website.
