Music Professor Receives Fellowship
Er-Gene Kahng
Er-Gene Kahng has been chosen to receive the Arkansas Visiting Fellowship at Wolfson College/University of Cambridge, in Cambridge, England, for the 2016-17 academic year. Er-Gene will be researching the perspectives and possibilities of Performance Practice, specifically in historically informed performances of George Frederic Handel's violin sonatas. Cambridge's Fitzwilliam museum collection holds the largest collection of Handel's music manuscripts. This is a rich resource to access Handel's facsimiles and evaluate current publications and editions (of which many questions and discrepancies still linger) against the original source. There is an opportunity for archival research nowhere else available.
The visiting fellow program gives faculty the opportunity to join the vibrant academic community at the University of Cambridge, which, in 2016, is celebrating its 807th anniversary. Visiting scholars are typically engaged in teaching and/or research at the university or in a recognized research establishment while in Cambridge. Visiting fellowships are awarded on a competitive basis to scholars who are not normally residents in Cambridge.
Er-Gene Kahng is an instructor of violin for the Department of Music at the University of Arkansas.
