MSt tutor Anna Beer’s “Sounds and Sweet Airs” a Financial Times “Summer Read”
“Why is it, asks Anna Beer, that male composers have consistently eclipsed their female counterparts? The solution, she admits, is more complicated than simply rewriting music history “on the principle of add women and stir”. In probing deeper, she has given us a compelling account of eight women composers’ lives and the many and various difficulties they encountered.”

MSt alumnus Sam Guglani has new column in “The Lancet”
MSt alumnus Sam Guglani has a column, “The Notes”, in The Lancet (subscription required)
“Seamus Heaney distinguishes between craft and technique in poetry, and so speaks to us in medicine. He suggests that craft is just a “skill of making…deployed without reference to the feelings or the self”. But technique is much greater: it is a definition of the poet’s “stance towards life”. In medicine, in the throes of all our encounters, what is our stance towards life, and indeed towards death? In this new Lancet column, The Notes, the hope is to wonder about this, to look obliquely again at events that hold meaning for us and for the persons we meet as patients, who are of course all of us”

MSt tutor Anna Beer to give Fulbright Frontier Lecture, “Right Place, Right Time? Women Composers and Their Creative Communities”, 17 May 2016.
MSt tutor Anna Beer will be speaking on Right Place, Right Time? Women Composers and Their Creative Communities
The lecture, a Fulbright Frontiers Lecture, will take place in Rewley House, 1 Wellington Square, Oxford OX1 2JA.
Join Anna and attendees at 5 pm for tea and coffee. The bar will be open after the lecture concludes at 6:30 pm.
Anna’s book, Sounds and Sweet Airs, has been described by The Guardian as ” a timely bulwark against forgetting, and proffers a number of reasons for the fading of female artists’ reputations … This book helps show why a narrative that insists that the good stuff will naturally and always rise to the surface is simplistic. It is important for us all, composers, musicians, audiences, men, women, society at large, that we seek out the best and most exciting creative voices, from wherever they may come”.
