Cardiff University British Music Research Centre (CUBRIT)
Description
The Cardiff University British Music Research Centre (CUBRIT) aims to promote and advance research of twentieth- and twenty-first-century British art music at a national and international level and to disseminate that research excellence to a global community.
The Centre exercises a broad definition of British art music since 1900, embracing a diversity of musical contexts, approaches and scenes, and conduct research on the life and music of a wide variety of composers, including Harrison Birtwistle, Peter Maxwell Davies, Michael Finnissy, Alun Hoddinott, Simon Holt, William Mathias, Michael Tippett and Judith Weir. The Centre’s approach is broad and inclusive, and includes areas such as archival, analytical, creative and critical-theoretical perspectives on post-1900 concert music; interpretation; music, landscape and place; music theatre and opera; music and Welsh national identity; practice-based research studies; and sketch studies.
The Centre cultivates new musicological and practice-based research studies of creativity within and between Cardiff University and external organisations, and provides a forum for individuals to share their research through lectures, study days and conferences.
The aims of the Centre are:
- To encourage collegial research into any aspect of British art music since 1900.
- To foster mutual support for researchers active in this field of research.
- To provide opportunities to share and discuss research through networking and knowledge sharing and public engagement events.
- To support and develop new knowledge about post-1900 British art music through diverse modes of scholarly enquiry.
- To promote collaboration between musicologists and practice-based researchers throughout the UK and internationally.
