"Luciano Pavarotti" Conservatory of Modena, round table on hybrid composition

As part of a Research Project of National Interest (PRIN) currently being carried out by the Pavarotti Conservatory of Modena and Carpi, the international composition conference “Worlds That Listen” was held in Modena from 29 September to 1 October and will reach its ideal conclusion in Cremona on 2 October, from 4:00 to 6:00 pm.

The event explores the different rhythms and silences of diverse musical cultures and what happens when they encounter the Western musical tradition.

Taking part in the discussion will be:

Clint Bracknell – Australia, University of Western Australia
Claudie Ricaud – Mauritius, François Mitterrand Conservatory
Giusy Caruso – University of Antwerp
Danieli Longo – University of São Paulo, Brazil
Vasily Scherbakov – St Petersburg Conservatory
John Sharpley – Singapore

Through talks and examples of their own music, the composers and scholars will discuss their individual creative languages and how these have developed through the encounter between their respective musical traditions and the language of Western music.
