Mr Stephen Whittington

Senior Lecturer, Composition

Elder Conservatorium of Music

Faculty of Arts, Business, Law and Economics

My research includes non-traditional outputs - compositions, performances, public art works - as well as journal articles and book chapters. These stem from my broad musical interests in the performance of music (principally but not exclusively on the piano), modern and contemporary music, technology, and transcultural musical practices.
