Details:
After 60 years of the most recent movement in music scholarship
and performance concerned with Historically Informed Performance
(HIP), this talk explores where has such research brought us and
where is it going? The continuing mission seems to be to seek out
new sources, new information: 'to boldly go' where no HIP has gone
before. In order to trace these achievements, an exploration of
early sound recordings perhaps offers us some insights?
Time and Date:
6.30pm on Thursday 11th October 2012
Venue:
Callaway Music Auditorium, School of Music, University of Western
Australia.
Guest Lecturer:
Richard Egarr has been Music Director of the Academy of Ancient
Music since 2006. Described as "the Bernstein of Early Music" by
USA National Public Radio, he is a brilliant harpsichordist and
equally skilled on the organ, fortepiano and modern piano. His
recordings with the AAM have won MIDEM, Edison and Gramophone
Awards, and he has directed the orchestra in concert halls from the
USA to China.

The Callaway Lecture is one of the most prestigious events on
the School of Music calendar. Over the last two decades, a host of
distinguished speakers have taken the podium to deliver their
thoughts on subjects as broad ranging as the effects of music on
the mind, and the place of music in the arts.
