Yesterday, the University of East Anglia announced the closure of it's School of Music, a place that I care about deeply. I studied at the UEA school of music for three years as a masters degree student, it has one of the most open-minded experimental postgraduate music programs currently operating in the UK. This is the place that helped shape my understanding of music, and this is the school that I had hoped to one day return to as a PhD student.
