Event details
Dr Thomas Seltz passed away on 29 November 2017. He was Lecturer in Composition and Head of Jazz and Pop Performance Studies as well as a highly valued colleague and friend. On Monday, 5 February 2018, the Music Department will celebrate his life and music with two events that reflect two sides of his personality and artistic career. Admission at both events is free - please register in advance.
At 1pm in Turner Sims, Music’s professional lunchtime concert series honours Thomas’s professional work as a composer alongside personal tributes. Department colleagues David Owen Norris and Vincent Lindsey-Clark perform “I dreamt a new reality”, a work for piano and guitar by Thomas, and Elizabeth Kenny presents the world premiere of the theorbo suite “Elizabeth”, a piece Thomas wrote for her.

Students, past and present, will be celebrating Thomas’s memory with an informal tribute evening of live music at The Talking Heads, Southampton from 7:30pm. Further details and to register for the evening event, please see the separate listing.
