This UN-conference is themed around the ineffable music therapy movement, Community Music Therapy (CoMT). We’re proud to invite Dr. Brynjulf Stige and several other colleagues that have generously donated their time to talk about this movement that continues to re-shape the assumptions of music therapy, health, wellness, identity, culture-centeredness, and musicking.

The UN-conferenceis a live event on 4/11/2024 from 10am-2pm EST (GMT -4) but can also be viewed, in part or wholly, asynchronously. The live UN-conference will take place on the UofL Zoom platform and will be edited and posted for viewing in the week following the live event. In addition, attendees will read and reflect on highlighted CoMT papers, articles, and other multi-media to inspire new ways of thinking and being in music therapy.
