[Xenia Pestova]

Dear all, if you have any students looking for funding for MA / PhD, please do spread the word: we are particularly interested in applicants wishing to specialise in contemporary music studies (composition; performance, including performance with electronics; musicology). We have strong links with the Birmingham Conservatoire and University of Birmingham as well as De Montfort amongst others for co-supervision.
