Colloque « Saint-Saëns Across Borders », Royal Northern College of Music et en ligne, 3-5 février 2022. 

« The focus of the Manchester conference is on the composer’s activities and connections outside France.  Saint-Saëns regularly went on tour and spent a lot of time in North Africa, where he died.  He was also a regular visitor to Britain, receiving notable commissions (including for the famous Organ Symphony from the Royal Philharmonic Society), performances and publications.  His British network included royalty, politicians as well as leading musicians. Drawing on new archival materials from the Saint-Saëns archive in Dieppe and other locations around Britain, the conference will enable us to make a valuable contribution to research on this understudied aspect of Saint-Saëns’s career. »
