The Abbey Road Institute Johannesburg Class of 2023 recently embarked on an unforgettable trip to London for the Global Graduation Ceremony 2024. This remarkable event brought together students from our sister schools in London, Sydney, Amsterdam, Miami, and Paris, offering a unique opportunity to celebrate, learn, and connect.
Class of 2023 Graduates
The trip began with the prestigious Global Graduation Ceremony 2024, hosted at the iconic Abbey Road Studios. This historic venue, famous for its association with The Beatles and countless other music legends, provided a fitting backdrop for our graduates to celebrate their achievements. The ceremony was a testament to their hard work, dedication, and passion for music.
Ilse Mazzone shared her awe-inspiring experience:
“Graduation day was surreal. Walking through the gates and up those iconic stairs, surrounded by top talents from institutions worldwide, was unforgettable. The legendary Studio 1, adorned for the occasion, set the perfect scene. Then, completely out of the blue, Sir Paul McCartney appeared, delivering a speech and presenting an award. Standing on that stage to receive my diploma was a dream come true.”
Following the graduation ceremony, the students participated in an exciting series of workshops held over two days at the legendary Abbey Road Studios and the renowned Angel Studios. These workshops provided our students with hands-on experiences, guided by industry experts who shared their invaluable knowledge and insights. The students delved into various aspects of music production and sound engineering, honing their skills and broadening their understanding of the industry.
Ilse reflected on this invaluable experience:
“The next two days were packed with workshops and collaborations. Being in the control room with Grammy Award-winning audio engineers was an unparalleled experience. I learned more in three days than I ever imagined possible.”
Beyond the workshops and graduation, the trip fostered a sense of global community among the students. They had the chance to network with peers from across the world, exchanging ideas and experiences, and forging connections that will undoubtedly last a lifetime. This global perspective is invaluable as they embark on their professional journeys in the music industry.
Sebastino Truda expressed his gratitude:
“Studying at Abbey Road Institute Johannesburg was life-changing, and the Global Graduation Ceremony 2024 was the perfect send-off into the world of music-making. The ceremony was unifying and special, and the connections made are invaluable. Thank you, Abbey Road Institute, from the bottom of my heart.”
The trip to London for the global graduation ceremony 2024 was not just an educational experience but also an inspiring journey that celebrated the culmination of years of hard work. It highlighted the global reach and collaborative spirit of the Abbey Road Institute community, underscoring the endless possibilities that lie ahead for our graduates.
As the Class of 2023 returns to South Africa, they bring back not only a prestigious qualification but also memories, friendships, and experiences that will shape their future careers. We are immensely proud of their achievements and look forward to seeing the incredible impact they will have on the music industry.
