SUMMARY:2024/25 SACU/Peking University Essay/Art Competition
DESCRIPTION:2025 is the 60th Anniversary of SACU and so the aim of this year’s competition for senior school students is to encourage young people to explore the history of SACU through its digital archive database and other resources to produce a written essay or a piece of art. \n\nThe competition is now open and welcomes entries from all senior school children and there are great prizes for the winners! \nFull details in the flyer here \n\nTHEMES\n1. How do you see the contribution of SACU and its significance to us today?\nSACU was founded by Dr. Joseph Needham in 1965 with the support of others determined to promote intercultural and international communication globally. You are encouraged to explore the history of SACU\, by focusing on a person or on an event or events and tell us how you would promote understanding between different cultures and peoples today. \n2. How do you see the two capital cities of UK and China – London and Beijing?\nLondon and Beijing are both major world cities. To promote understanding between the UK and China\, the two capital cities should be able to work together in many ways. You may either present an understanding of aspects of one city in a foreigner’s eyes or do a comparative study of aspects of the two cities with suggestions on potential for collaboration. \nIf you have contacts with any senior schools please do forward this flyer to them. The competition welcomes entries from all senior school children and there are great prizes for the winners! \n

SUMMARY:Classical Music in China\, through the eyes of five composers: Online talk by Dr Ben Lunn
DESCRIPTION:Classical music in China has gone through a fascinating process of evolution which followed the shape of the society and its continuous changes. Despite its fascinating history\, full of lessons for many the world over\, large elements of this music are unknown to many in the Western world. \nIn this session\, Dr Ben Lunn will discuss the circumstances that influenced five particularly significant composers – Xian Xinghai\, Jian’er Zhu\, Tan Dun\, Wenchen Qin\, Sel Nkbayar – drawing out how they adapted to the changing world around them. \nSACU is delighted to host this talk by member Dr Ben Lunn\, composer and conductor. \nBook your free place on Eventbrite here \nSpeaker biography: \n‘BEN LUNN puts his beloved birthplace Sunderland on the musical map’ – Linton Stephens\, BBC Radio 3 \n‘His work extends the palette of sounds that can be brought into contemporary classical music\, redefining both modern composition and concert-hall inclusion.’ – Alan Morrison\, Rhinegold.co.uk \nDr Ben Lunn has forged himself a unique position within the new music landscape. As a composer\, Lunn’s music reflects the material world around him\, connecting to his North-Eastern heritage or how disability impacts the world around him or his working-class upbringing. Alongside this\, he has become renowned for his championship of others\, which have seen him creating unique collaborations with musicians from across the globe and developing unique concert experiences and opportunities for others. \nBook your free place on Eventbrite here \nDr Benn Lunn\nPhotos copyright: \nfeatured image: Drake Music Scotland\nimage at foot of text: YCM portrait\n  \n  \n
