International Symposium: Understanding Bach's B-minor Mass, Queen's University Belfast, 2-4 November 2007 (Member of local team, Producer of exhibition)
The Exhibition 'Bach's B minor Mass Performed in Foreign Lands' was a joint venture by the Queen's University Library and School of Music and Sonic Arts. This exhibition, which traces the complex and diverse reception history of Bach's monumental choral work in Europe, Russia, America and Japan from the eighteenth-century to the present day, was made possible by various worldwide institutions and individual collectors working in conjunction with Queen's Library.
On display was the Queen's copy of the most innovative colour facsimile of the work's autograph, several significant manuscript copies --- some original (including the c.1790 copy of the Symbolum Nicenum from the private library of Mr Michael D'Andrea, New Jersey, USA and others digitalized --- as well as an array of printed editions. The exhibition also included an audio-visual presentation of scholar Teri Noel Towe's lecture on the first recorded performance of Bach's B minor Mass.
