Campus Corner News from UW ...
Michael Griffith, conductor of the UW Symphony, just spent two weeks teaching in Shanghai, China. As part of their Visiting Short-Course Professor program, he conducted the Shanghai University orchestra and taught a class on Orchestral Music of the East and West. His concert included the Simple Symphony of Benjamin Britten and the Chinese folk song, Lily at Dawn, arranged by Hu Sisi. This is Dr. G’s third time teaching at Sh.U. He also took two rehearsals of the Shanghai City Symphony, an excellent amateur orchestra, working on music of Berlioz and Smetana.
In addition to his two conducting experiences at China’s Shanghai University, Dr. Griffith has been a visiting professor at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki, Finland. He was elected a Top Ten Teacher by two UW graduating classes, taught UW’s London Semester, lectured at Brazil’s Federal University of Goiás, led four UW cultural tours of New York City, taught at UW’s Saturday University in Jackson Hole, was nominated for an Ellbogen Teaching Award, and received a “Thumbs-Up” award from the UW Arts & Sciences student council.
