It is a great pleasure and honour to host at the “Doctors in Performance” (DIP) festival conference 2021 in Tallinn, at the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre. It is very gratifying that, despite the difficult times of the Covid-19 pandemic, our international friends and colleagues have found their way to Tallinn, either in person or online. Artistic research has already become an established practice both in doctoral studies in creative disciplines and more broadly – also for the educators who teach these disciplines. It can be said with satisfaction that the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre has been a pioneer of artistic research in Estonia. The first artistic doctoral dissertation was defended at the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre in 2004, and since then, 45 doctoral students have defended their research in the fields of music and theatre. It is impossible to overestimate the importance of international cooperation in this field, and the generative capacity of this joint activity is also evidenced by this festival conference. I wish you all an interesting, inspiring conference that opens up new perspectives on artistic thought and creativity! Ivari Ilja Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre Rector 3 In the last decades, artistic research has developed rapidly in many countries and gained increasing recognition. There is no doubt that the three “Doctors in Performance” (DIP) festival-conferences – the first of which took place in September 2014 in Helsinki, inaugurated by the Sibelius Academy (SibA) – have played an important role in this. It is our colleagues at the Sibelius Academy who came up with the idea of combining artistic research and musical performance in the framework of this event in order to highlight the creative pursuits of musicians and researchers. The second DIP took place in 2016 at the Royal Irish Academy of Music (RIAM) in Dublin, and the third, three years ago, at the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre (LAMT) in Vilnius. After the festival-conference in Vilnius, the Steering Committee of DIP proposed that the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre should have the honour to be the organiser of the fourth DIP in September 2020. In autumn 2018 none of us could have foreseen that a year and a half later borders would close, universities would lock their doors and interactions would be transferred to the virtual world due to the global COVID-19 pandemic. In such conditions we had to take the decision to postpone the event by a year. Although the current situation is still far from normal, we hope to be able to run a hybrid version of DIP with all of your support. We extend a warm welcome to everyone who has been able to join us in Tallinn and to all those participants joining the festival online! We are eagerly awaiting the presentations of our two keynote speakers – Neil Heyde, cellist and researcher at the London Royal Academy of Music (RAM), and singer and music psychologist Allan Vurma from the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre. We ask for your patience and understanding in the event of any technical hiccups, which we shall try to resolve as quickly as possible. The Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre has participated in DIP since the second festival-conference in Dublin. Our university has taken the lead in doctoral artistic research in Estonia. The first PhD in Music was awarded in 2004. To date, 45 doctoral theses in music and theatre have been defended, various articles have been published, and the book series “Studies on Artistic Research” has been launched. As a result of several years of collaboration between EAMT, the Estonian Academy of Arts, and the Baltic Film, Media and Arts School, a 4 · Doctors In Performance 2021 significant document was finalised this year: the Estonian Artistic Research Framework Agreement, which aims to define and develop artistic research and to ensure its place in the educational landscape and in society. The framework agreement was signed by the Rectors of the three universities in June 2021. It is unlikely that this document would have seen the light of day had it not been for international role models and like-minded partners. Our doctoral studies in artistic research have received significant impetus from the activities of AEC, EPARM and ELIA and, of course, from the DIP festival-conferences. In preparing the fourth DIP, we have received much support and rapid reactions to our questions from the Steering Committee of DIP: Sarah Callis (RAM), Markus Kuikka (SibA), Lina Navickaitė-Martinelli (LAMT), Denise Neary (RIAM) and Anu Vehviläinen (SibA). Our special gratitude goes to our Finnish colleagues Anu Vehviläinen and Markus Kuikka for meaningful, friendly and constructive discussions. Lina Navickaitė-Martinelli from Vilnius has always been on hand with advice. In autumn 2018 the DIP organising committee started work at EAMT with dedicated contributions from members Marje Lohuaru and Allan Vurma as well as assistants Aleksandra Dolgopolova and Liina Jääts at the beginning and Hanneleen Pihlak in the intensive preparation phase this year. The festival- conference has received continuous support from the senior staff of EAMT – Rector Ivari Ilja and Vice Rectors Margus Pärtlas and Henry-David Varema. We are deeply indebted to our technical team led by Nikita Shishkov and Innar Järva and to Marek Vilba and Ilja Goor, the Administrative Head of EAMT Halls. In their various roles, the lecturers of EAMT and former and current doctoral students in music have given their contribution. A big thank you to everyone! The diverse topics covered in the 21 papers, 10 recitals and 14 lecture-recitals of the fourth “Doctors in Performance” reflect contemporary thinking in music, which encompasses, unites and transforms different fields, pushing the boundaries of current knowledge. Participants include familiar names from previous conferences as well as those joining us for the first time. We hope that everyone will feel comfortable in the Great Hall – which was opened in 2019 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre – as well as in the Organ Hall and Chamber Hall of our Academy. Wishing you inspirational days furthering artistic research!
