HMDT Music’s Gavin Stewart completes his PhD

Gavin Stewart playing the flute

 

We’re extremely proud to announce that our Senior Manager, Gavin Stewart, has completed his PhD, and is now officially Dr. Gavin Stewart! Here’s what he has to say on his research:

 

“I’ve always enjoyed pushing myself to explore what my instrument and I can do, and this research was a natural convergence point of my practice and academic interests. This project allowed me to work with an incredible team of collaborators creating a new body of repertoire for the amazing Kingma System flute whilst developing a visual model of collaboration between performer and composer that draws together two approaches already well-explored in literature and practice. I’m really excited to start bringing these pieces to life in my performances – should you fancy a listen you can explore them here!”

 

Congratulations Dr. Stewart; all your hard work has paid off!
