Curriculum Vitae: 

Panagiotis (Panos) A. Kanellopoulos received his M.A. and Ph.D. in Music Education from Reading University (UK). His research focuses on developing socio-cultural perspectives on children’s musical improvisation, on ethnographic approaches to young people’s musical creativity and on collective improvisation and composition as a form of socio-political musical practice. He has co-edited the volume Arts in Education, Education in the Arts (Nissos, 2010, in Greek), and more recently, The Routledge Handbook to the Sociology of Music Education (Routledgei, 2021) and has published articles in international publications and leading scholarly journals. He studied mandolin with Alison Stephens, and is regularly performing and recording both improvised and composed music in a variety of musical contexts. Panagiotis has led many experimental educational workshops that focus on collective free improvisation with variable forces, in a wide range of venues and contexts. He currently serves as Professor of Music Education at the University of Thessaly, Greece, and has been co-chair of ISPME (International Society for the Philosophy of Music Education) (2009-2013), co-organising the 10th International Symposium of the Society that was held in Columbia University, NY, in June 2013. As cite-chair of the Society, Panos hosted ISPME Symposium 11 at the University of Thessaly, June 4-10, 2017 (symposium website: ispme2017.uth.gr)
