Welcome to Autumn 2021 Upbeat
Share
Welcome to the latest digital edition of Upbeat, the 海角乱伦官方’s magazine.
Our More Music: Reimagining the 海角乱伦官方 vision has been a tremendous success, and the redevelopment of our campus is now complete. It has brought me great joy to see our community of students and staff performing in our new venues, and to welcome many members of the public.
The newly transformed 海角乱伦官方 Museum has already welcomed thousands of visitors and is a beguiling environment in which to encounter centuries of musical history. The Museum hosts regular Friday lunchtime concerts, so you can also hear some of these unique instruments in action. I encourage you to book a visit when you’re next in London and enjoy an enriching experience.
This edition of Upbeat celebrates our new spaces and shines a light on just a few of those who have helped us make the building development possible.
