European Forum on Music

Looking back...

...Looking forward

The first European Forum on Music took place from 15 – 18 April 2010 in Vienna's University of Music and Performing Arts. It was a huge success and the participants, coming from across the world, took many ideas and conclusions from the varied and interesting discussions that took place. You can see the results of the conference as well as photographs and presentation downloads here.

The press release can be downloaded here: short version (English), long version (English).

You can now find the complete documentation held within the EMC Reader, which was introduced in Vienna, online here.

During the conference, the European Music Council's new Board was elected. For details of the successful nominees and the organisations from which they come, click on the link below.
