Overview
The postgraduate research programmes in Performance Practice are a unique opportunity for performers of proven ability to develop their work on historically-informed performances of western art music.
Students will be assessed by performance supported by written work, which demonstrates a high level of ability in presenting, and reasoning from, historical evidence relating to performance practice.
The MA by Research in Performance Practice is examined by:
• A thesis of c.20,000 words • A performance not exceeding 45 minutes actual performance time (30-35 minutes for wind and brass players) which illustrates, at least in part, ideas raised in the thesis • A written programme note for, and detailed critical commentary on, the performance
Please be advised that this programme requires a supervisor.
