Even though the coronavirus pandemic prevented the holding of the annual graduation ceremony, several students were able to present remarkable performances as part of the requirement to complete level eight and receive their Intermediate Certificate from the Conservatory. Some of them played in front of limited audiences that generally included the students’ parents, whereas other concerts were broadcast live on social media instead.
Our message to you, dear graduates, upon your graduation
It is indeed unfortunate that the current health circumstances have rendered us unable to hold a graduation ceremony for you during which we and your family and friends would have enjoyed listening to the fruits of many years of hard work and perseverance.
As we congratulate you today, we look forward to you joining the community of brilliant musicians who are brightening the lives of our people during these very difficult moments. We also pray that the harmonious sounds of music in our land will one day silence the sounds of war machinery and destruction that are bent to suppress the voices of our children who are calling for freedom, peace, and justice.
Please accept the heartfelt congratulations we would like to extend to you and your parents, whose support and encouragement undoubtedly significantly impacted on the success of your musical journey.
