Our final keynote speaker is Dr Jane Alden of Wesleyan University. Dr Jane Alden has research interests that span from mediaeval music to graphic notation, and she is the director of the group Vocal Constructivists who have performed works by composers including Mark Applebaum, Michael Parsons, Paula Matthusen, Pauline Oliveros, Christian Wolff, Lauren Redhead, and have given the first all-voices performance of the entire manuscript of Treatise by Cornelius Cardew.
In addition to Dr Alden’s keynote talk, members of Vocal Constructivists will perform some highlights from their repertoire in a special second keynote concert.
