Reflections of a Composer
On Thursday, January 21, at 4:30 pm in Gasson Hall Room 305, James MacMillan, a Scottish classical composer and conductor, presents the Candlemas lecture "Reflections of a Composer." MacMillan became internationally recognized after the extraordinary success of his composition Tryst in 1990 which led to his appointment as Affiliate Composer of the Scottish Chamber Orchestra. His prolific output has since been performed and broadcast around the world, placing him in the front rank of today's composers. The Boston Sympony Orchestra will perform the American premiere of his St. John Passion on January 21-23 at Symphony Hall. For more information visit www.bc.edu/lowell.
