The European Network for the Philosophy of Music (ENPM) organizes its second conference, which will be hosted by the Centre de Recherche et d’Expérimentation sur l’Acte Artistique (CREAA) of the University of Strasbourg on September 25–27, 2025 in Strasbourg (France). The conference is organized in partnership with the Festival Musica Strasbourg, a yearly festival dedicated to contemporary music, which will take place concurrently with the conference.

The 2025 Edition of the Festival will highlight the intersections between music and artificial intelligence.

The confirmed keynote speakers for the conference are Lydia Goehr (Fred and Fannie Mack Professor of Humanities, Department of Philosophy, Columbia University), and Alexander Schubert, a contemporary composer and Professor at Musikhochschule Hamburg, who will also premiere a new work at the 2025 Edition of the Festival Musica.

The conference will include a panel on music and AI, featuring the keynote speaker Alexander Schubert along with Jean-Pierre Briot (CNRS, Sorbonne Université), Christoph Haffter (University of Basel) and Pierre Saint-Germier (IRCAM).

The ENPM Conference will also feature two sessions of the conference Music and Action, co-organized by Alessandro Bertinetto (University of Turin) and Daniel Martin Feige (Staatliche Akademie der Bildenden Künste Stuttgart).
