Approaches to Performing Grainger

27–28 March 2026

The Brigham Young University School of Music, in collaboration with the Percy Grainger Society, invites scholars, performers, educators, musicians, practitioners, and industry professionals to submit proposals for papers, presentations and workshops that explore the music of Percy Grainger through a consideration of approaches to, and the contexts of, live performance. This two-day symposium, which will be delivered in hybrid mode, both in-person and online, aims to explore the myriad ways Grainger's music can be interpreted, performed, and appreciated in contemporary contexts. 

Further information is available at the Symposium website.

The third event in our three-part series, Sanctuary, Shelter Stage: Exploring the Percy Grainger Home & Studio, will take place on Thursday May 22, at 4 pm Eastern time. In conversation with host Curt Ebersole is Lt. Col. Daniel Smith-Toven, Commander of the West Point Band, and former Deputy Commander and Associate Bandmaster of The U.S. Army Band “Pershing’s Own” and Director of The U.S. Army Chorus. Join us on as we delve into the fascinating world of Grainger’s life and work, all from the comfort of your own home!
