Biografie

Elena Alessandri ist Leiterin des Kompetenzzentrums Music Performance Research an der Hochschule Luzern – Musik. Sie promovierte am Royal College of Music in London mit einer vom Schweizerischen Nationalfonds (SNF) und vom Staatssekretariat für Bildung, Forschung und Innovation (SBFI) teilfinanzierten Studie über die Wahrnehmung und Beurteilung musikalischer Aufführungen in der professionellen Musikkritik. Zuvor absolvierte sie ein Masterstudium in Musikpädagogik sowie ein Klavierstudium mit Diplom in Italien. Sie arbeitete als Pianistin und Musikpädagogin in Italien, Österreich und der Schweiz.

Der aktuelle Hauptfokus ihrer Tätigkeit liegt auf der Erfassung, Erhaltung und Förderung der Gesundheit von Musiker:innen, mit einem Schwerpunkt auf der Entwicklung einer ganzheitlichen Gesundheitskultur («Culture of Care») an Musikhochschulen. Zu diesem Zweck hat sie 2019 das Forschungsprogramm «Empowering Musicians» lanciert, welches mit spezifischen Forschungs- und Entwicklungsprojekten einen konkreten Beitrag zur Förderung erfolgreicher und nachhaltiger Musikkarrieren leistet. Der bewusste Umgang mit eigenen und fremden Ressourcen wird dabei integrativ als Teil des Kompetenzprofils von Musiker:innen verstanden, und das herkömmliche Erfolgsverständnis und -konzept wird mit der Nachhaltigkeitsperspektive hinterfragt und erweitert.
