Concert

Christian Wolff will be awarded an honorary degree by the University of Huddersfield on 16th November 2009.  As part of his visit, a concert of his work is being presented by the edges ensemble (Joseph Kudirka, director), Philip Thomas, and Wolff himself.

There is also an workshop with Wolff and the edges ensemble on the 15th from 6-8pm, also in Phipps Hall.

The 2009-10 academic year features an exciting series of concerts and workshops hosted by CeReNeM and will again include numerous visiting soloists and ensembles of international renown.  As in previous years, each of the visiting artists will perform pieces by CeReNeM’s postgraduate Composition students alongside works by more established composers.  Additionally, many of the guest performers will be available to offer coaching sessions for our Contemporary Music Performance students and will give workshops and reading sessions for undergraduate composers.

Guest artists are indicated below in blue.  Tentative repertoire is given where available, though is subject to change.  Additional information about the concerts will be posted on the CeReNeM and Music Department websites prior to the concert dates.  All concerts are held in either St Pauls Hall or Phipps Recital Hall.
