TUDY DAY IN COLLABORATION WITH THE INSTITUTE OF MUSICAL RESEARCH, SCHOOL OF ADVANCED STUDY, UNIVERSITY OF LONDON AND KINGSTON UNIVERSITY

In addition to his music, Satie left a remarkable set of writings, including Le Piégede Méduse (1913) featuring music for prepared piano. Satie was a colourful figure in the early 20th century Parisian avant-garde. He was a precursor to later artistic movements such as minimalism, repetitive music, and the Theatre of the Absurd.

This study day will include material on French cinema, lecture/recitals and a performance.

This part of the study day included the following talks:

Composers' Forum: The Impact of Satie on music today by Howard Skempton, Michael Parsons and James Nye. Chaired by Paul Archbold
