    Conducting Studies Conference 2016

    Conducting Studies Conference 2016 24th – 26th June St Anne’s College University of Oxford Conducting Studies Conference 2016 24-26 June, St Anne’s College WELCOME It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to St Anne’s College and the Oxford Conducting Institute Conducting Studies Conference 2016. The conference brings together 44 speakers from around the globe presenting on a wide range of topics demonstrating the rich and multifaceted realm of conducting studies. The practice of conducting has significant impact on music-making across a wide variety of ensembles and musical contexts. While professional organizations and educational institutions have worked to develop the field through conducting masterclasses and conferences focused on professional development, and academic researchers have sought to explicate various aspects of conducting through focussed studies, there has yet to be a space where this knowledge has been brought together and explored as a cohesive topic. The OCI Conducting Studies Conference aims to redress this by bringing together practitioners and researchers into productive dialogue, promoting practice as research and raising awareness of the state of research in the field of conducting studies. We hope that this conference will provide a fruitful exchange of ideas and serve as a lightning rod for the further development of conducting studies research.

    Guitarist Paul Galbraith to Present Recital Featuring Works by Bach and Mozart (May 30) by Mike Telin

    Guitarist Paul Galbraith to present recital featuring works by Bach and Mozart (May 30) by Mike Telin On Saturday, May 30 at 4:00 pm in Mixon Hall at the Cleveland Institute of Music, Paul Galbraith (Scotland) will present a recital as part of the Cleveland International Classical Guitar Festival. Galbraith’s program will feature Bach’s “Allemande” from the Lute Suite in E minor, BWV 996 and Cello Suite No. 5, BWV 1011 and No. 1, BWV 1007. The program also includes Mozart’s “Allemande” from the unfinished Suite in C, K. 399 and the Piano Sonata in F, K. 570. Due to Paul Galbraith’s touring schedule, we were unable to speak to him by telephone, although he graciously agreed to answer some questions via e-mail. Mike Telin: Why did you choose these specific pieces? Paul Galbraith: This program came about through an open invitation from the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC. They had asked for Bach/Mozart programs to be submitted by musicians for their approval, with a view to presenting a program consisting solely of those two composers. I submitted a group of pieces which was a kind of idealized program, showing links between Bach and Mozart, and presenting as a centre- piece a very demanding transcription of Mozart's K. 570 piano sonata. In fact, I hadn’t yet learnt it when I sent the program to Washington, but as I was fairly convinced they wouldn't select a guitarist for such an event, I must admit I wasn’t overly concerned.
