Paul Archbold, Richard Langham Smith and Helen Abbott introduce the conference on 'Debussy: Text and Ideas'. To celebrate the 150th anniversary of the birth of Claude Debussy (1862-1918) the Institute of Musical Research in collaboration with Bangor University, the Royal College of Music and Gresham College present an international symposium centred on the links between Claude Debussy and the literary and visual arts. The event focuses on the works of Debussy, his texts and the ideas behind them. The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/debussy-text-and-ideas-part-one Gresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597.
