Abstract
Week of events was organised between 29th July and 5th August 2014 in Asturias by Bradley as artistic director of ACE. Three UHI music students from the BA Applied Music programme secured Student Development Funding to attend a week of international collaboration with local professional musicians, professional performance, cultural events and teaching and learning opportunities. They joined Simon Bradley and Anna-Wendy Stevenson, both lecturers with LCC/UHI and guest LCC lecturer Paul McCallum and award winning Gaelic tenor for this great educational opportunity.
