Round Table
For this roundtable session, delegates were invited to join symposium co-chairs Duncan MacLeod & Elizabeth Kelly (NottFAR, University of Nottingham) to discuss findings from the symposium and to consider how new music practitioners have responded to the pandemic and any positive developments that have arisen out of the pandemic which we may wish to explore and carry forward as we (hopefully) move into the post-pandemic landscape.
