Date 11 January 2017

St John’s College is glad to welcome our Sound Artist in Residence for Hilary Term 2017, Marianthi Papalexandri Alexandri.

Marianthi Papalexandri Alexandri is a Greek-born composer and sound artist working in Berlin, Germany and Ithaca, New York. She is currently Assistant Professor of Composition at Cornell University. Her works interweave sound art, musical composition, visual objects and performance, and explore the factors that link these art forms. The world of sound and the visual appearance of her works are in continuous interaction, while being uncompromisingly precise, pure and economical in their means.

To accompany Marianthi’s Residency, a series of events will be held at The Barn in Kendrew Quad:
