Nordic Music Days 2010 is hosting an international conference
on the theme of “Audience Engagement in New Music”. We
invite artists, music teachers, concert promoters, information
officers, ensembles, festival directors – everyone interested
in the role that audience engagement plays in artistic and
educational projects.
New music in the year 2010 covers several musical expressions that
very often cut across genres. This multi coloured field of music calls
for a new way of dealing with audience, where awareness about who are
the audience helps forming the content of concerts and events and the
way to communicate the events.
Through best practise-presentation by some of Europe’s most
experienced players within audience engagement the conference will
show many different approaches to engaging audience. The themes are
learning and participation, new concert forms and communication and
marketing. There will also be group discussions lead by the key
speakers - everything to engage all participants as much as possible!
