Dear Friends and Colleagues,
Do come along if you're interested. Space is limited so advance booking is essential.
All best wishes,

The
symposium explores the creative conditions of writing and performing
music for a global event in reference to the range of themes in the
opening ceremony of the Paralympic games, such as enlightenment, human
rights and the homecoming of athletes. The themes were approached by
musical composition, communal participation, emotional reach and through
scopes of architecture, audiences and worldwide media. Video examples
of the world premieres of Errollyn Wallen’s Principia and Spirit in Motion will be viewed and reflected on by the artist herself and then in a question-and-answer session.
The
evening will be introduced by Dr. Ola Johansson, discussing the
challenges of artistic performances in the age of globalization.
Errollyn Wallen will develop and explore this by examining her own
experiences and insight into the ideas of Composing and Performing in the Age of Globalization including
her personal perspective on her work for the London Paralympics 2012.
The evening will conclude with a generously assigned question-and-answer
session open to the public.
The event will be chaired by Dr. Ola
Johansson, Reader in Contemporary Performance Practice at the Centre for
Research into Creation in the Performing Arts.
