Speaker: Professor Daniel Chua is currently the Chair Professor of Music and ‘Mr and Mrs Hung Hing-Ying Professor in the Arts’ at the University of Hong Kong, and the President of the International Musicological Society. He earned his PhD in musicology at Cambridge University, and has taught and conducted research at many distinguished institutions around the world including Cambridge, King’s College London, Yale, and Harvard.
He has written widely on music, from Monteverdi to Stravinsky, but is particularly known for his work on (i) Beethoven, (ii) the intersection between music, philosophy and theology, and (iii) the history of ‘absolute music’. Prof. Chua is also currently working on a post-human manifesto modestly entitled an Intergalactic Music Theory of Everything (IMTE).
