  • Award of Honorary Degree of Doctor of Music Citation
    AWARD OF HONORARY DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF MUSIC CITATION Sir Alan Charles Maclaurin Mackerras Born in 1925 and educated at the Sydney Conservatorium, of Music and the Prague Academy of Music, Charles Mackerras was principal oboe in the Sydney Symphony Orchestra before launching on a major conducting career in Europe in 1947. A conductor of great colour and flair, he achieved early acclaim for his interpretations of operas by Puccini, Verdi and Mozart. He has always shown an uncommonly learned concern for the interpretative style and textual accuracy in the works he was to perform. He edited Handel and Janácek works for performance, and he made many pioneering, recordings, including those of Handel oratorios and rare works of Cavalieri. His 1965 version of Mozart's Marraige of Figaro at Sadlers Wells was a major force in the development of the authentic performance practice movement. He has appeared as conductor at Covent Garden, the Metropolitan Opera, the Paris Opera, the Australian Opera, the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the Chicago Symphony, with many other major orchestras and most major opera companies throughout the world. He has been musical director of the Welsh National Opera and the English National Opera, Chief Conductor of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, Chief Guest Conductor of the BBC Symphony, and First Conductor of the Hamburg State Opera and Principal Guest Conductor of the San Fransico Opera. For his outstanding contribution to music as a conductor, particularly in the revival and performance of neglected operatic repertoire. 1 present Charles Mackerras, Commander of the British Empire, Knight Bachelor, Fellow of the Royal College of Music, Fellow of the Royal Academy of Music, Doctor of Music of the University of Hull and Doctor of Music of the University of Nottingham.

    FINAL REPORT Ludwig Boltzmann Institute Media.Art.Research. Ludwig Boltzmann Institute Media.Art.Research. Media. Art. Research. In the research program of the LBI Media.Art.Research., interdisci pli­ narity becomes part of everyday practice. Its research projects combine competencies from the fields of art history, cultural studies, media theory, media technology, and computer science. The structure of the institute thus corresponds to the complexity and diversity of its main theme: media art. Beyond this specialized field, the LBI positions itself at the intersection of the dialogue between the “two cultures” of the humanities and cultural studies, on the one hand, and the natural and technological sciences, on the other. The first part of the report presents the concept and the research pro­ gram of the Institute, as well as its events and publications. The indivi­ dual research projects are then introduced according to five topics, which constitute the basic elements of a methodology of media art research. LBI Media.Art.Research.
