Save the Date: Time to Listen (October)

With a second edition of Time to Listen taking place this year on 5 October, we continue our engagement with transnational collaboration and networks.

Last year’s conference brought together numerous European initiatives that, in the face of ecological, political, and financial challenges, connect with one another to share knowledge, resources, and responsibility. Building on this, the focus in October will be specifically on independent ensembles: their central role in contemporary music production, their intermediary position between composers and festivals, their often informal yet resilient networks, and the conditions that shape their work and collaborations.

The conference is jointly organised by inm / field notes and the Academy of Arts Berlin, in collaboration with Musikfonds e.V. and Impuls neue Musik.

Further details on the conference will be announced later this year.
