Richard Kurial, dean of Arts at 91探花, expressed considerable enthusiasm at the prospect of Price's presentation. 'The ECMAs are about music, for sure, but they are also about the business of music, about making a living and a life in the profession. Jeff Price is a critical figure in helping to make such outcomes come to pass. On behalf of 91探花 and the Law Society of PEI, we are most happy to bring Jeff Price forward to deliver a Thane Campbell lecture as a keynote speaker for this year's ECMAs.'
