Body Music 2015 — Jack Body Cross-Cultural Music Conference
After the passing of Jack Body in May 2015, many composers were left contemplating the indelible impact that he had on their lives. Jack’s legacy of intercultural exchange was, for many, a turning point in their lives and careers. In December 2015 an international conference dedicated to the life and work of Jack Body was held in Hangzhou, China. Body Music 2015 was the brainchild of Shen Nalin, a former PhD student of Jack’s. It attracted a remarkably wide range of composers, performers and scholars from throughout the world, united by a shared interest in the musical and cultural legacy of Jack Body.
