Finnd’it founder, Gonçalo Cruz, presented his doctoral research “Forgotten Bagpipes – The Re-design of the Säkkipilli in Finland” at the Musiikkitalo (Helsinki Music Center) on Tuesday 10th March.
He introduced the audience to our project – “The Finnd’ít initiative” – and asked for the support of all.
Here is the video of his presentation, shared and promoted by the University of Arts of Helsinki on their YouTube channel.
The Sibelius Academy is celebrating the 30th anniversary of its Doctor of music degree. So this year, the two-day event called SibA Research Days 2020, had a special flavour. It was a great atmosphere, and I enjoyed very much sharing my ideas, discussing them with fellow researchers, and get in touch with their own particular research projects.
