Season's Greetings from the AEC Team!
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
As we reach the close of 2023, I wish to send you Season’s Greetings.
I hope that you get some time to unwind and enjoy the welcome break. Post-Congress, AEC has continued to be busy, with a successful Early Music Summit and FAST45 multiplier event, both developed through successful sector collaborations with valued partners ELIA and REMA.
We look ahead to a busy 2024, with the launch of the registrations of PJP and EPARM. I hope that I might see some of you at these events which are already shaping up to be very interesting and topical.
Finally, I am sure all of our thoughts go to our members and all the communities who continue to be severely affected by the current wars, and for whom we all share deep sympathy and fellow feeling. I acknowledge that my safety and comfort are not shared by many of my fellow human beings, and will continue to wish for a resolution to such suffering.
