Prof. Fiona M. Palmer gives guest research seminar at School of Arts, English and Languages, Queen’s University Belfast entitled, ‘Exploring Postwar Podium Power in 1920s Britain’
On Wednesday 26 February 2025 at 13:00, in the Old McMordie Hall, Music Building, Queen’s University Belfast, Prof. Fiona M. Palmer gives a guest seminar, ‘Exploring Postwar Podium Power in 1920s Britain’, in which she discusses her current monograph project (under contract with Boydell Press). Disrupting conventional approaches to writing about conducting and conductors, the book explores the issues that surrounded and shaped the conductor’s evolving role and status in the British marketplace during this turbulent decade of postwar recovery and reconfiguration. This talk positions the conducting profession within the wider music profession through a consideration of personal networks, institutional hierarchies, unionization, nationalism, and internationalism. https://www.qub.ac.uk/schools/ael/events/SeminarExploringPostwarPodiumPowerin1920sBritain-ProfFionaMPalmer.html
