European Music Council Invitation
First European Forum on Music. Musical Diversity – Looking Back,  
Looking Forward
15 to 18 April 2010, Vienna, Austria

The European Music Council (EMC) together with the Austrian Music  
Council and the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna would  
like to invite you to the first European Forum on Music focussing on  
Musical Diversity – Looking Back, Looking Forward. The forum will take  
place at the University of Music and Performing Arts from 15 to 18  
April 2010 in Vienna, Austria. The EMC promotes youth participation  
and therefore strongly encourages all members to send young  
representatives under 30 years of age to the conference.

Standing at the beginning of the second decade of our millennium, we  
invite you to look at the changes that took place in the past ten  
years and at our expectations for the coming decade with regards to  
musical diversity:

• To what extent has musical diversity played a role in national as  
well as in European culture policies?
• How is this reflected in the respective legislation?
• How do we as music organisations implement musical diversity in our  
different work fields?
• How can we guarantee musical diversity in the future?

Two prominent panel discussions will investigate the importance of  
musical diversity: What are the chances and challenges for musical  
diversity in an urban context and what role do cities play herein?  
What is the European position with a new EU 2020 strategy that still  
has to prove its place for culture and music?
Interactive sessions will give the participants the opportunity to  
look into the field of music education and E-Culture and to give  
recommendations on how to protect and promote musical diversity also  
in the future.

The European Forum on Music will be framed by excellent concerts. On  
Friday evening the Austrian Composers Forum will invite the  
participants to the Composers' Lounge at the jazz club Porgy and Bess  
and on Saturday evening Jeunesse Austria will provide the opportunity  
to listen to a concert of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra in the  
beautiful environment of the Musikverein.
