Keynote speakers and evening performances

The invited keynote speakers are Richard Langham Smith, Arnold Kettle Distinguished Scholar in Music at Open University (Bizet's "Carmen": towards a performance Urtext); Peter Hill, Professor of Music, University of Sheffield (‘Nature into music: Messiaen and birdsong in the 1950s’); and Roy Howat, Keyboard Research Fellow at the Royal Academy of Music. As performance is a central focus of the conference, several evening concerts will be offered in the McKay auditorium on the campus of BYU-Hawaii. Pianist Scott McCarrey will perform Ravel's Miroirs, Schmitt's Crépuscules, Poulenc's Napoli and two new pieces by Australian composer Wendy Hiscocks commissioned for the conference. Peter Hill's program features the solo piano music of Messiaen, and Roy Howat and Wendy Hiscocks will present a duo-piano recital which includes Debussy’s En blanc et noir and Chabrier’s Trois valses romantiques.
