Symposium of New Works and Research into Contemporary Composers (2022.5.21)

I’m was excited to be able to organise once again the Symposium of New Works and Research into Contemporary Composers which is took place online on May 21st, under the aegis of Nanhua University Dept. of Ethnomusicology.  The academic committee* chose eight papers and six compositions for inclusion in this year’s event.  I’m was very excited to have Peter Wiegold giving the keynote address.  We had over seventy auditors during the day, and a lively discussion.

You can find the list of papers and compositions here: Selected Participants
