European Forum on Music 2012, Istanbul - Turkeyby Dr Herbert Scheibenreif Manager of Friedrich Lips Productions |
The second edition of the European Forum on Music, ‘Transcending Boundaries – Building Bridges’ took place from 19th to 22nd April 2012 in Istanbul, Turkey. Through workshops, plenary discussions and presentations, participants explored the physical obstacles hindering musical exchange in Europe as well as discussed the role which music can play in overcoming borders – be it geographical, cultural or generational. The Forum was an opportunity not only for dialogue and networking, but a chance for participants to be inspired by each other and by the vibrant city of Istanbul, with its diverse musical traditions. The cultural programme, presented by the local hosts, the Borusan Foundation, made the 2nd European Forum on Music an event to remember! The European Forum on Music took place in the Borusan Music House which is located in the heart of Beyoglu - Istanbul's thriving artistic and cultural centre. The 3rd European Forum on Music takes place in Scotland (Glasgow, Edinburgh) from April 18th to 21st 2013. For further information email: herbert@accordion-cd.co.at |
