KEYNOTE SPEAKERS
Our principal keynote speaker will be Mr. Gunther Schuller, a world-renowned musician, composer, conductor, educator, academic, scholar and writer well known also for his pioneering work in connecting 20th century classical music with jazz through numerous compositions, reviving, restoring and performing historical jazz works from Scott Joplin to Charles Mingus, recording with Miles Davis on “Birth of The Cool” and establishing the Jazz and Third Stream departments at the New England Conservatory as early as 1969. His view on the role of improvisation in contemporary musical education will be the starting point of the conference.
