Opening Cocktail
The 6th World Forum on Music (WFM) welcome evening will set the atmosphere of the about-to-start conference. It will be the opportunity to welcome participants with music, food and drinks and have a first get-together in La Bellevilloise. The 2019 Music Rights Awards Ceremony – sponsored by BOZAR/Centre for Fine Arts – will take place during this evening; it will offer a unique opportunity to learn about the winning project.
All the participants will be invited to cruise at the first sounds of the 6th WFM and make sure to meet old and new faces. The Opening Cocktail will give all guests the opportunity to either continue their evening in the city of Merveilles or to prepare oneself in calm for the very full three days. |

Third Right - Musical Involvement for all
| Involvement in music is many things to many people. For some, it is simply listening to or experiencing music; for many, it is participating in and expressing their own culture, playing musical instruments, singing in their own language or others, moving with and dancing to music. It is also related to the creation of original music and the preserving and development of musical traditions and, in many ways, to know music, to know about music and to have access to knowledge about music. |
| |
| ⇒ Meet the confirmed speakers: IMC Music Rights Champions Arn Chorn-Pond (Cambodia) will share his experience on how he became an advocate for musical involvement for all; Tabu Osusa (Kenya) will speak about access to music information; and Mary Luehrsen (USA) will share in an interview her experience with the Third Right. In a panel moderated by Sonja Greiner (Germany), Arthur Gill (Pakistan), Carl Jones (Ireland), Mariam Obange (Kenya) and Maria Claudia Parias (Colombia) will discuss on the level of access to music in their countries and much more. Learn more about them! |
