If I had to sum up our @royalmusical Study Day in a word, it would be 'collegiality'. It has characterised both our committee (thank you, @kerrybunkhall and @kavaemma 😊) and our wonderful delegates. 🇫🇷🎵
And just like that, it’s over! Thank you to all our attendees and speakers. From the committee, @kerrybunkhall, @kavaemma and @FaithSBThompson
