On Collaborating:

The Journal of the International Keyboard Collaborative Arts Society

On Collaborating is the peer-reviewed journal of the International Keyboard Collaborative Arts Society (IKCAS). This multi-media platform is the nexus between performance and research in collaborative piano, and it aims to bring together an international community of researchers and performers to further scholarship in this particular field. As a multi-media journal, On Collaborating offers contributors the opportunity to showcase their work in written articles, lecture-recital presentations, or a blend of different media within the same submission.
