DESCRIPTION:Since the late 1960s\, Jane Manning has been one of the most 
 important figures in British musical life. As a singer\, she has been in
 volved in the performance and instigation of a range of contemporary mus
 ic\, especially that by modernist composers\, including figures such as 
 Pierre Boulez\, John Cage and Peter Maxwell Davies. \n\nIn this talk\, t
 he 'Pierrot Players'\, an ensemble established by Harrison Birtwistle an
 d Peter Maxwell Davies in the 1960s\, occupy an important position. Whil
 e the ensemble takes it name from the piece 'Pierrot Lunarie' by Arnold 
 Schoenberg\, it is perhaps the ensemble formation itself which has had t
 he bigger influence upon composition and performance in the late twentie
 th century\, providing a performance context for many a new work.\n\nIn 
 her talk\, Manning reflects on her involvement in this rich history\, an
 d assesses the double impact of Pierrot. This promises to be a fascinati
 ng discussion of the relationship between performance\, composition and 
 cultural history.
