Avid Donates Composing Software

  The Academy has recently received a generous donation of four units of Sibelius 7 software and four units of the Keystation Mini 32.  The donation was made by AVID Software’s regional branch in Dubai, and especial thanks are due to Pavan Mulani, their Field Marketing Specialist for Emerging Markets.

BZAM, the British trust fund supporting the Academy, was instrumental in sourcing the donation.  Sibelius 7 is the most advanced and up-to-date form of the well-known music-writing programme and will be of inestimable value to both the Academy staff in preparing music for their own needs and to its senior students.  It will also be invaluable in preparing parts for Richard Sisson’s Festival commission, The Song of the Carnivores, and the choral workshops associated with it.  All at the Academy express their very real gratitude to both Pavan and AVID and to BZAM.
