This concert will begin with a talk by leading musicologist Prof Peter Hill, University of Sheffield. Peter is known as one of the foremost experts on the music of Olivier Messiaen, as well as being one of the finest British pianists of his generation. His books include The Messiaen Companion (Fabers), and Stravinsky: The Rite of Spring (Cambridge University Press). The invitation from Messiaen’s widow, Yvonne Loriod, to research in the private Messiaen archive in Paris led to a biography of the composer, Messiaen, published by Yale University Press in 2005, and reissued in translation in Germany (Schott) and in France (Fayard). Olivier Messiaen: Oiseaux exotiques (Ashgate) was published in 2007.
