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.

Grainger the Educator
October 23, 2025 (4pm, EDT)

We are delighted to announce the Percy Grainger Society’s 2025–26 members’ meeting series, Grainger the Educator, a celebration of Percy Grainger’s often overlooked yet enduring influence as a teacher and educator. This three-part series seeks to illuminate Grainger’s innovative educational approach and spirit in a variety of settings, including his work at the National Music Camp, Interlochen, his 1932–33 lecture series for New York University, and his public lectures for the Australian Broadcasting Commission, delivered between 1934 and 1935.

The first session, ‘Grainger at the National Music Camp, Interlochen’, will be delivered by Phyllis Weliver, Professor of English at Saint Louis University, on October 23, 2025 (4pm, EDT). Registration (free for members) is here.

The latest edition of The Grainger Journal is available here.

The recently conserved Gliding Tones on Whistle, Notes on Recorders Free Music machine is now on permanent display.
