Visit of the Duchess of Rothesay
Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Rothesay visited the University of Aberdeen’s Department of Music today (April 18), where she met staff and students including Head of Department Dr David Smith and the composer Professor Paul Mealor, whose music was performed at last year’s Royal Wedding and has been sung by the Military Wives Choir.
Her Royal Highness was also introduced to fourth-year music student Paul Murray who has overcome four major brain surgeries and multiple sclerosis to continue playing the piano. After his illness left him partially paralysed, the talented musician had to learn the more difficult technique of left-hand only repertoire to continue performing.
