On 6 February, the lectorate ‘Music, Education and Society’ will present the outcomes of the research projects of 2025, as well as introduce the research group of 2026. The meeting is also the festive closing of the lectorate year.
A diverse range of research projects will be presented through presentations and artistic demonstrations. We are also looking forward to upcoming research projects with the 2026 researchers, who will offer a glimpse into their plans. The presentations will be followed by drinks.
The Lectorate Event is a free public event in Studio 6 of the Royal Conservatoire, on the fourth floor of Amare. If you are interested in recent and future research projects at the Royal Conservatoire, this event will be worth a visit!
