Sold Out! Digital Delius (London, 1 October)

Why share details of a seminar that's sold out?  Well, you never know if there might be a last-minute cancellation!  So we're sharing details of this seminar at the British Library, just in case anyone might be particularly interested.  Anything touching on the digital humanities has a very current resonance, after all.

"How can technology help people access and understand music manuscripts?

"This event has been rescheduled from 16 July.

"Join us for the launch of a new digital exhibition showcasing the music of British-born composer Frederick Delius (1862–1934), including a live performance by the Villiers String Quartet."

 "Daniel Grimley, Joanna Bullivant and representatives from the University of Oxford’s e-Research Centre present an overview of the AHRC-funded project and outline how technologies they have developed can enrich engagement with musical sources and give an insight into the creative process. "

 Monday 1 October, 13:00 - 18:00
Foyle Visitor and Learning Centre

Hear a rare opera - Koanga, by Delius

Delius's opera Koanga is rarely heard, so we were delighted when the Delius Society told us about a forthcoming broadcast.

"BBC Radio 3 will broadcast on Thursday 17th March a recording of Koanga from the Wexford Festival last October. Stephen Barlow and his forces give us a fine performance of this work, as anyone who attended the performances in person or who heard the broadcast on the RTE Lyric FM radio last year."
