In association with the Festival, the Institute of Advanced Studies at The University of Western Australia is hosting a symposium of scholarly presentations aimed at all lovers of Baroque music.

This symposium will introduce music lovers to the origins of Baroque music, and then concentrate on the life and works of GF Handel. His role in developing the Italian opera in England, in creating the English Oratorio, and generally contributing to the musical and theatrical life of his times and the development of western music will be explored by scholars of international standing. The symposium will include a number of papers by Handel specialists from across disciplines.
