Theme:
“Changing Perspectives: Digital Technology and Music Education in Shaping, Expressing, and Negotiating Cultural Identity”
The 2nd International Conference on Music and Culture (ICOMAC) 2025 aims to provide an inclusive and interdisciplinary platform for scholars, practitioners, educators, artists, and students from Indonesia and around the globe to engage in critical discourse on the evolving relationship between music, education, and culture in the digital era.
In an increasingly globalized and technologically interconnected world, music education is no longer confined to traditional classrooms or local communities. Digital technology has transformed how music is taught, learned, performed, archived, and experienced. This shift has opened up new possibilities for cultural expression and identity formation, while also raising important questions about authenticity, access, and cultural negotiation.
Under the theme “Changing Perspectives: Digital Technology and Music Education in Shaping, Expressing, and Negotiating Cultural Identity,” ICOMAC 2025 invites participants to explore how digital innovations in music education influence the way cultural identities are constructed, challenged, and preserved. The conference seeks to highlight both the opportunities and complexities arising from this dynamic intersection of technology, pedagogy, and culture.
