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.
