Q&A and Recital with Professor Martyn Harry
Join us for the first event of the day at the 2026 Gaudy with composer and Professor of Music at Oxford, Martyn Harry. Professor Harry will be giving a talk that will feature music throughout, followed by an audience Q&A.
Martyn Harry studied Composition with Alexander Goehr as part of his BA at Cambridge University, and Music Theatre Composition with Mauricio Kagel in Cologne on a DAAD scholarship. He has an Associate Diploma in Performance and Communications Studies from the Guildhall School of Music, and a PhD in Composition from City University where he studied with Simon Emmerson, Michael Finnissy, Douglas Young and Robert Saxton.
Along with Agustin Fernandez, Martyn directed the I3 project in close conjunction with Simon Clugston of Northern Sinfonia. He created a number of innovative music theatre projects with the director Lore Lixenberg, including productions of Berio’s A-Ronne, Wishart’s Anticredos and Kagel’s theatrical tour-de-force Staatstheater, which won approbation from the composer.
In January 2009 Martyn Harry took up his present post as a university lecturer at the Faculty of Music, specialising in Composition, with tutorial responsibility for music at St Anne’s.
