Programme of the European Forum on Music

8th European Forum on Music
7 - 10 June 2018 in Oslo, Norway

With this edition of the EFM, we looked at the importance and the value of musical heritage for our future European society. Music and intangible heritage in general are confronted with a variety of challenges: from participation and access to music to environmental threats. What is needed today to make sure that we can
still enjoy Europe’s musical roots in the future?
