Guest Lecture Bio: Liza Lim is Professor of Composition and Director of the Centre for Research in New Music at the University of Huddersfield, UK. Her compositional practice reflects on Asian ritual cultures, Australian Indigenous aesthetics, weaving and knots as a metaphorical ‘technology for thinking’, material translation, empathy and intuition in an ecology of collaboration, and distributed creativities. Lim’s music, which ranges from operatic and orchestral scores to site-specific installations, has been commissioned and performed by some of the world's pre-eminent ensembles including the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Sydney Symphony Orchestra (composer-in-residence in 2005 & 2006), Bavarian Radio and SWR Orchestras, Ensemble Musikfabrik & Holland Festival, Ensemble Contrechamps, Klangforum Wien, Ensemble InterContemporain, Ensemble Modern, ELISION, the Arditti String Quartet, Cikada, Salzburg Festival, Lucerne Festival, Festival d’Automne à Paris, WDR Orchestra & Choir and BBC Symphony as well as the Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth Festivals. Her new opera ‘Tree of Codes’ commissioned by Opera Cologne, Ensemble MusikFabrik and Hellerau will be premiered in Cologne in April 2016. Her compositions have been published by Casa Ricordi (Milano, London & Berlin) since 1989 with a catalogue of 70 works. She has portrait CDs with Hat Hut, WERGO, ABC-Classics and Dischi Ricordi with other work appearing on HCR, Neos, Aeon and Vox Australis.
