The Cramb Lecture & Residency in Music
The Cramb Lecture & Residency in Music
The Cramb Lecture and Residency in Music annually invites a visiting lecturer, pre-eminent in the field of Music, to the University of Glasgow for an inspiring series of seminars, workshops and performances.
Previous Cramb scholars have included Aaron Copland, Gustav Holst, Peter Pears, Luciano Berio, Peter Maxwell Davis and Heiner Goebbels.
The Cramb Lecture in Music was founded in 1911 by Miss Susannah Cramb of the Hermitage, Helensburgh and in 1947 provision was made for the lecture to become an annual event. In more recent years the format has been expanded and visiting speakers have carried out an extended residency at the University. Residencies have incorporated public performance and seminars with Music students in addition to the traditional public lecture.
The 2018 Cramb Residency will be given by Marianne Wheeldon, Professor of Music, University of Texas at Austin.
