Five panelists engage in roundtable discussion about equity in music

The Faculty of Music is a fertile ground for academic discourse and offers numerous opportunities for the exchange of ideas through lectures, presentations, forums, and other events. Our various colloquia and roundtables bring together performers, composers and researchers to share knowledge and insights covering a wide array of topics within and related to the study music.
