Presentation from Dr Cormac Newark, Head of Research, Guildhall School of Music and Drama.

Dr Cormac Newark, Head of Research at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, delivered a presentation to the Board providing an update on the School’s research activities. He advised that research helped the School expand into new areas but were developed alongside the existing structure and departments. This made sure curiosity was encouraged and the school remained forward-looking, while continuing to draw links between the ‘sharp’ end and the core to ensure the whole School was involved. In response to Governors’ questions, Dr Newark confirmed that the School was linking with the Barbican and the LMA regarding an archiving project, private funding for research was pursued where possible, and the strong research culture would underpin teaching.
