Value – Practice – Craft – Future
The University of Sheffield
Friday 27th April – Sunday 29th April 2018
Keynote Speaker: Christopher Fox
The inaugural conference of Sheffield’s Centre for New Music will be a platform for composers sharing music, processes and methods, exchanging ideas about the value of what we do, and contemplating the future. The conference is open to composers in and outside academia and themes are deliberately left open to let composers set the agenda. The conference will be held over two days as the finale to Sheffield Concerts Sound Lab Week (20-28 April) and official launch of the Centre for New Music (CeNMaS) and one-day workshop with the Ligeti Quartet.
