This year marks the 150th anniversary of the birth of the Lithuanian composer and painter, Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis (1875-1911)
As part of the celebrations, Philip Bullock (Professor of Russian Literature and Music) has participated in two major international conferences. The first, held at the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Drama in Vilnius, took place 16-18 October and featured Prof. Bullock's keynote lecture, "Seeing with the Inner Ear: Music and Image at the Fin de siècle". Later that month, on 30 October, Prof. Bullock spoke at a one-day symposium ("Escaping with Čiurlionis") organised by the Baltic Studies Program at Yale University.
