Prom 53: Stravinsky, Reich, Tippett and Elgar

The BBC Symphony Orchestra remembers Sir Andrew Davis (1944–2024) in this Prom presenting the UK premiere of Steve Reich’s Jacob’s Ladder an

The leadoff piece is Stravinsky's Symphony in Three Movements, written from 1942-1945, the composer's first piece after his emigration to the U.S.

Artist Jack Ox, who works in interdisciplinarity between artistic genres, interpreted each of the three movements as a painting, using buildings in NYC and Chicago as the visual sources.

Exploring interdisciplinarity in the drive to net zero workshop 

Workshop: 6th March 2023, Technology & Innovation Centre, University of Strathclyde 

Through funding from the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) to the Centre for Water, Environment, Sustainability and Public Health at the University of Strathclyde, Prof Ashleigh Fletcher and the Hydro Nation Chair Programme are hosting a workshop to explore interdisciplinarity between the sciences in a drive to net zero.  

This bridging the gap workshop is aimed at developing links between the developing research base, identified as part of the Hydro Nation Chair programme, and social scientists from across the UK. The primary objectives are to: 

recognise the links between these groups of researchers,  

establish disciplinary norms and  

identify what we need to understand about each other.  

The primary outcome of the workshop is to facilitate a better working relationship to truly integrate and embed alternative research methods within developing projects and studies. More information on the workshop can be found in the following workshop summary.  

Please confirm attendance, along with any dietary requirements and consideration for a travel bursary to Dr Fiona Millar via [email protected] by 6th February 2023.

Workshop details: The workshop will take place on 6th March 2023 at the TIC building in Glasgow (99 George Street, Glasgow, G1 1RD). As the agenda is being finalised, we are asking attendees to hold 09:30-16:30 but we are aiming to run the main workshop content between 10am & 3.30pm.

Target Audience: The workshop aims to engage researchers from a broad range of disciplines but with a common interest in enhancing working practise to more fully understand the environmental and societal impacts of climate change.  In order to capture all expertise and interest across all levels and disciplines, without any prior agenda, attendance is welcomed across career stages, subjects and experience of interdisciplinarity.  

Workshop Attendance: Primarily we would like this workshop to be in-person, however we appreciate the benefit of a hybrid event and, as we wish to target a number of audiences, the event will be set up as hybrid, with online attendance possible.

To support in-person attendance, we have 40 travel bursaries, of up to £125 per person, available. Please note that award of these bursaries will prioritise low- and no-income attendees; hence, attendees are encouraged to explore other means available to them for financing expenses in the first instance.  We would also like to encourage users of these bursaries to consider green transport methods where possible.

If you wish to take advantage of a travel bursary please indicate this in your response to this invitation, noting how this bursary will support your attendance in person and including indicative costs (note that exceptional higher travel costs may be considered on a case-by-case basis).
