“Having examined the technical and physical specifications of the ATRiuM, I believe it will play an important role in the development of musicians and composers in Wales. Its prominent position in the centre of Cardiff provides close proximity to the numerous creative and cultural events in the City, and the configuration of the music provision is first class. Essentially, the interdisciplinary configuration of the ATRiuM building will enable budding musicians to study in a 'real world’ environment.” Dr Karl Jenkins.
