Barry Conyngham AM in conversation with Joel Crotty
Australian composer Barry Conyngham AM, has spent a lifetime in music composition. He studied with Peter Sculthorpe and Toru Takemitsu and his craft has taken him to many places around Australia as well as Japan and the USA.
He was also a senior University administrator and was the first musician to hold the Chair of Australian Studies at Harvard University (2000–2001). These twin roles have been wonderfully captured in his recently published memoir, The Gardener of Time.
