| The 2007 Annual Conference at Bedford School took place in May. With well over a hundred delegates and a large Trade Fair housed in a splendid marquee, the three-day even was both enjoyable and memorable. Director of Music Andrew Morris, in setting up the Conference, has chosen to showcase Composition, with composer Paul Patterson (Manson Professor of Composition at the Royal Academy of Music and Composer-in-Residence, National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain) in attendance. Saturday morning's sessions included an exciting session led by the young and dynamic creative musical foundation Voces Cantabiles Music. Other key-note speakers included Marion Long (Institute of Education, University of London) and Robert Saxton (Composer, Fellow of Worcester College, Oxford). Practical sessions included a workshop on choral direction by Eton College's Ralph Allwood and Bedford School's Head of Strings, Martin Hughes. More detail will be contained in the September issue of Ensemble, the MMA journal, which will also appear on this site.
