Peter Tregear | A matter of some notes

Conductor, singer, author, Professor Peter Tregear OAM presents the final Ramsay lecture for 2020 titled ‘A matter of some notes, or why we should still study classical music in Australia.’ In this lecture, just days ahead of the 250th anniversary of the birth of Ludwig van Beethoven, Professor Tregear discusses the importance of, and the changes to, the study of classical music in our universities and wider society. Lamenting the recent decision by Monash University School of Music to disestablish its musicology and ethnomusicology specialisations, Professor Tregear argues that music graduates should not just be performers, but also historians, analysers, critics, and explorers of the musical culture they inhabit, so they can understand their art form in its broader historical and cultural context. Professor Tregear says lack of knowledge of our musical past and the context in which music has been written has affected media coverage of classical music performances, and emboldened ‘cancel’ culture proponents. As we mark the 250th anniversary of the birth of Beethoven, amid calls to cancel his music, he argues that those in the classical industry must make tectonic shifts in articulating the value of classical music to ensure its accessibility and survival. Professor Tregear is a former Fellow of Music at Fitzwilliam College Cambridge, Principal Fellow of the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music, and the inaugural Director of Little Hall, University of Melbourne. A graduate of the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music, Professor Tregear undertook doctoral studies at King’s College, University of Cambridge, and from 2000 to 2006 was Lecturer and Director of Music at Fitzwilliam College. Since returning to Australia he has served as Executive Director of the Academy of Performing Arts at Monash University and Head of the School of Music at the Australian National University. He has performed as a soloist or conductor with Melbourne Opera, Victorian Opera, Kronos Quartet, The Rolling Stones, Australian Chamber Orchestra, and Australian Youth Orchestra, among other leading ensembles. In 2020 he was awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) for services to music education. Like this video if you enjoyed it so we know you want to see more content like it.
