Music Cultures: SEMPRE Conference Proceedings

To celebrate Hull as the UK's City of Culture in 2017, the School of Drama, Music and Screen hosted a 3-day International Interdisciplinary Conference based on the overarching theme of ‘Musical Cultures’. The conference featured keynote addresses by Professor David Huron (Ohio State University, USA), Professor Patricia Shehan-Campbell (University of Washington, USA), Professors Mine Dogantan-Dack (University of Oxford, UK) and Daniel Leech Wilkinson (King’s College, London, UK). The event included spoken presentations, poster sessions, performance sessions, composition workshops, and concerts by local and international ensembles, including the University of Hull’s Associate Artists, The Berkeley Ensemble. SEMPRE’s 2017 Aubrey Hickman Award was given at this conference in recognition of a paper that offers a significant and previously unpublished contribution to the knowledge and understanding of music education or music psychology
