Trevor Wishart — guest professor

Wishart has recently been Edgard Varese Guest Professor at the Technical University in Berlin, where he completed the new 29 minute piece Globalalia ("Globalalia: The universal dance of human speech as revealed in 20 tales from everywhere, spoken in tongues."), commissioned by Folkmar Hein on the occasion of his 60th birthday, and premiered in the Sophiensalle, Berlin, as part of the Inventionen 2004 Festival.

In mid-July Wishart taught at the CCMIX studio in Paris and will give a concert of his works as part of the Musica Viva Festival in Portugal in September. In December he is participating with many other artists from around the world in a project to place artworks at various bus stop locations around Madrid.
