A New Year brings a host of exciting new projects and opportunities, and we were excited to catch up with our very own Director of Music Performance, Prof Mary Dullea, about what she has lined-up for the coming winter-spring.
Here is a selection of the projects and news Mary has to share with us:

Mary featured in ‘Contemplating Morty’ at Cafe Oto
This month sees performances in two evenings dedicated to the music of Morton Feldman, ‘Contemplating Morty’ at Cafe Oto on 16 and 17 January. A retrospective of the music for piano and strings by this hugely influential composer, his quiet, intimate, and luminous compositions weave sounds inspired by both his relationships with visual arts and obsession with Persian tapestries.
