Dear colleagues and friends, Welcome to the AEC Newsletter April 2023 which will provide you with information on the latest AEC activities and other relevant news in the field of higher music education. Among those, we can report on the outcome of an impressive number of projects that have emerged among the AEC community in recent years. As AEC's ongoing EU-funded Creative Europe project ARTEMIS, these activities are an important contribution to innovate the sector and a great help to empower new generations of creative, highly qualified, reflective and resilient students who will be prepared to adequately meet the challenges of the future both as musicians and citizens. Stefan Gies AEC Chief Executive This month, we get to hear from various students who have been involved in recent years with AEC. Here’s to the next 70 years with student partnership at the heart of everything!
