A conference on ‘New Music in Britain’, in association with Sounds New and the Institute of Musical Research (IMR), will be hosted by the Department of Music and Performing Arts at Canterbury Christ Church University (CCCU), from Thursday 10 to Saturday 12 May 2012. The conference will coincide with and augment the long-established Sounds New Contemporary Music Festival, which is closely affiliated with CCCU. The 2012 festival (4–13 May), titled ‘Theme GB’, will focus on and celebrate the extraordinary work of British composers and performers, particularly after 1950.
