Thank you Dr. Jeremy Coleman and Prof. Dr. Philip Ciantar from the University of Malta for inviting me to do a key note on the amazing annual performing arts conference, this year themed "Participation, Creativity and Engagement in the Performing Arts". This was the 11th conference they have hosted, very impressive! It was especially inspiring to meet the other key note speaker Dr. Funmi Adewole Elliott, and learn from her very inspiring journey as a dancer and researcher in the UK and Nigeria. I spoke about Community Music in institutions: tensions and potentials, reflecting on the work of the Konzerthaus Dortmund and the City
library of Munich, and what it means when institutions include community music in their work.
