Lifelong Learning Pathways for Music and the Arts

Music and the arts have been hit severely over the last few years, with political discourse involving an underappreciation of their importance. We are putting together an online event to discuss how to achieve a shift of tone, explore their true societal and economic contribution, and what type of policy thinking is needed to ensure that they not only survive, but thrive.

Speakers:

• Jillian Barker, Director of Learning and Participation, Royal Opera House

• Sean Gregory, Executive Director | Innovation & Engagement, Guildhall School of Music & Drama

• Dr Claire Mera-Nelson, Music Director, Arts Council England

• Prof. Silvina Milstein, Professor of Music (Emerita), KCL

• Juliet Wood, Clinical Lead for Music Therapy, Chelsea & Westminster Hospital
