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 Davies 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.
LATEST: The Cramb Residency for 2020 will feature Prof. David Toop, chair of Audio Culture and Improvisation at the University of the Arts London and take place in the week of February 24th - 28th.
Cramb Residency 2019
Jeremy Dutcher - Monday 15th and Tuesday 16th April 2019
We are thrilled to present Jeremy Dutcher, a classically-trained Canadian indigenous tenor, composer, musicologist, performer and activist, as our 2019 Cramb Resident in Music.
Dutcher is most noted for his album Wolastoqiyik Lintuwakonawa, which won Canada’s 2018 Polaris Music Prize. He is also a leading activist for indigenous rights, and has provided indigenous outreach at Égale Canada, the country’s only national LGBT human rights organisation. Identifying as both indigenous and two-spirit, Jeremy has called for the indigenization of queer spaces, advocating – with reference to the lack of gendered pronouns in the Maliseet language – a ‘less western’ way of thinking about gender.
Presented by the University of Glasgow's School of Culture & Creative Arts as part of its 2018/19 programme on the theme ‘Inclusive/Exclusive’.
