 Picture above: Ian Smith (UK), EMC President (European Music Council).After Los Angeles, Beijing, Tunis, Tallinn and Brisbane, the Forum took place in Paris, France to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the International Music Council, which was founded in 1949 at the request of UNESCO as the advisory body on musical matters. The IMC World Forum on Music is conceived as an influential global platform for sharing knowledge about music and society in the 21st Century, a platform that explores a variety of topics from different perspectives: cultural, political and economic. The topics go beyond the aesthetic aspects of music production and address the mechanisms that promote or inhibit the active participation of people in cultural experiences. This year's Forum was once again an important opportunity for IMC members to meet and engage with colleagues from other areas to broaden their horizons and find inspiration for new projects, even partners for their implementation. In addition to members of IMC global network, the Forum was also open to a broad audience of all those who work in music and those who are able to make decisions for better conditions in which music is celebrated - created, interpreted, disseminated, transmitted and learned, preserved, exchanged etc., all over the world. This year’s World Forum on Music was dedicated to the Five Music Rights. First Right – Freedom of Expression Second Right – Music Education for all Third Right – Musical Involvement for all Fourth Right – Artistry development and communication through all media with proper facilities Fifth Right – Just recognition and fair remuneration Special Events were held as follows: 70 years of IMC history in pictures In cooperation with the Center of Cultural History of Contemporary Societies of the University of Versailles and the History Committee of the French Ministry of Culture, an exhibition of photos, videos and documents enriched the Forum programme. Celebration of October 1st, International Music Day / 70th IMC anniversary A special concert celebrated both the 70th anniversary of the IMC and the International Music Day, initiated in 1975 by then IMC President Yehudi Menuhin. Musical Diversity in the evening Partnerships with music venues in Paris allowed the forum audience access to a selection of concerts labelled “WFM”, offering participants a glance of the wealth and bandwidth of the music on offer in Paris.
