The International Symposium on Concert Music from the Caribbean: Traditions, Influences, New Frontiers looks at musical repertoires from the Caribbean with a focus on the creation of new music inspired by traditional forms. Presentations on musical traditions specific to Trinidad will be followed by talks from regional composers writing "art music" for concert performance today. By presenting a musical mosaic in this way, the symposium aims to draw connections between traditional and new musical forms and to inspire discussion about how and why composers incorporate local styles in their work.



Following on from the highly successful International Symposium held at the College of The Bahamas in February 2013, this event will be of academic and musical significance to anyone interested in new art music currently being created in the region.
