SCHOLAR INTRODUCTION

Professor David Francis Urrows 2014

TBC welcomed Professor David Francis Urrows, Associate Professor of the Department of Music at Hong Kong Baptist University. Professor Urrows was working on a research project about the history of pipe organ in China, from 1600 to the present. He was investigating existing and ongoing developments in pipe organ construction, installation, and its listening-culture in China as well as the increase in awareness of the instrument and its unique repertory. The research is not restricted to the religious use of pipe organ, and includes also its use in conservatories and concert halls.
