There was an initial announcement, with the date and details of the IMR web
page, back in February.
This announcement serves to confirm the final programme.
There will be a second conference (MADE IN LONDON 2) in what we hope will
be a longer series, at London Metropolitan University on 23 September.
This will have a larger proportion of keyboard-related items.
It will also celebrate the centenary of the formation in 1916 of the
National Music Trades School at the Polyphonic Institute of North London.
There will be a small centenary exhibition and associated musical
performances.
The programme is nearly finalised, so there will be a full announcement in
the coming month.
Best wishes,
Lewis.
