We hope your time here proves to be stimulating, enjoyable, and refreshing as we consider, from various perspectives, the lives and work of musicians who have 17.30 Evensong Cathedral Quire composed, performed, and drunk in this city, this cathedral, and other such places like them over the 18.30 Keynote Presentation Clagett Auditorium, Cathedral Lodge last few centuries. 19.30 Conference Dinner Refectory, Cathedral Lodge The subtitle of our Conference — “from the Chapel to the Tavern”— was inspired by a phrase from Thomas Browne in his inventive epistolary exchange between Henry Purcell and John Blow, “Letters from the Dead to the Living, and from the Living to the Dead” of 1720. The conceit is that messages may be exchanged between this world and the afterlife, and Purcell had written to his old friend Wednesday 21 June with an account of how things are in “these infernal Shades” which is, apparently, a riotously musical 09.00 Poster presentations/drinks Canterbury Christ Church University place: “all the year round the whole Dominion is like a Bartholomew Fair.” Blow’s reply claims that nothing has changed: “You know men of our profession hang between the Church and the Play- 10.00 Session 1: Music and Place Canterbury Christ Church University house, as Mahomet’s Tomb does between the two Load stones, and must equally incline to both, 12.30 Lunch Canterbury Christ Church University because by both we are equally supported.” It seemed to us that this somewhat stereotypical picture merits closer scrutiny and, by the looks of it, this Conference is going to do that rather well. 14.00 Session 2: Personalities Canterbury Christ Church University 17.00 Tea and Coffee Canterbury Christ Church University We have tried to create a few days in which several things can happen: scholars share their work; the cathedral shares its space and its music (some directly relevant to the Conference); and the sacred and 17.30 Evensong Cathedral Quire the secular rub shoulders as companionably as they did for our musical forbears in times gone by. 18.45 Acoustic Exploration of Cathedral spaces Cathedral, with Canon Christopher Irvine With all best wishes, The Conference Committee Thursday 22 June 09.00 Poster presentations/drinks Canterbury Christ Church University 10.00 Session 3: Music and Identity Canterbury Christ Church University 12.30 Lunch Canterbury Christ Church University 14.00 Open Forum Canterbury Christ Church University Conference Committee: 15.30 Library Tour Cathedral Canon Christopher Irvine 16.30 Tea and Coffee Chapter House/Herb Garden, Cathedral Dr David Newsholme 17.30 Evensong Cathedral Quire Chris Price 19.00 An Evening with the Canterbury Catch Club The Parrot, St Radigunds, Canterbury Thanks to: Friday 23 June The Dean and Chapter of Canterbury Cathedral 09.00 Session 4: Repertoire I Canterbury Christ Church University The Friends of Cathedral Music 10.30 Poster presentations/drinks Canterbury Christ Church University Cressida Williams and the staff of the Cathedral Library and Archives 11.00 Session 5: Repertoire II Canterbury Christ Church University Sarah Beaglehole and the Events Team at Canterbury Christ Church University 13.00 Lunch and Farewell Deesons, Sun St., Canterbury Our Conference Administrators: Myfanwy Meyer-Dinkgrafe and Richard Blake | 4 5 | | 6 To St Gregory’s Centre for Music - 2 minutes walk* CAMPUS MAP Lanfranc Halls of Residence - 6 minutes walk* North Holmes Road, Canterbury, Kent GATE 1 N GATE 2 P Goods * Walking times are approximate inwards RAMSEY (R) NORT DESIGNATED H SMOKING THORNE (TH) INVICTA (I) JOHNSON (J) AREA RAMSEY (R) DESIGNATED SMOKING AREA GATE 3 JUBILEE ORCHARD SOMERVILLE (S) H FYNDEN (FY) P OLMES POSTERN
