International Relations Reception

Join the SQA International Relations Committee for cocktails – and demonstrate your musical prowess at the same time! To celebrate our meeting in Memphis, we will be hosting our very own SQA Jam Session. The SQA house band, the “Deviations,” would be delighted to have you join them on stage for a jam. Alternatively you are more than welcome to perform your own “party piece” if you would prefer. We also need an audience so even if you consider yourself thoroughly non-musical please join us, catch up with old friends, meet new ones and learn about SQA’s global outreach efforts!
