How many “pink elephants” do the international relations coordinators have to deal with in their daily work? Starting from the points raised by the International Relations Coordinators Working group in their Reflection on the AEC Annual Meeting for International Coordinators 2018 – looking back at the past while imagining the future of internationalization of Higher Music Education (which we invite all of you to read before coming to Prague) the IRCs Meeting 2019 presents itself with the provocative title “The Pink Elephant” to trigger discussion about all constraints, contradictions, unsaid and unknowns that make the work of the IRCs more and more complex and multifaceted. Pink elephants generate contradictions: how can we stay flexible within the constraints of the institutional, national and European regulations? If we claim that all our work is for the good of the students, why is our work not entirely based on an accurate listening of their needs? If we claim that it is important to be in a network with common tools and procedures, why still many AEC members do not accept applications via EASY? If we claim that “being international” is a sign of quality, why don’t we compare each other internationally on regular basis? And if we claim that networking is the most important function of the IRCs meeting, while as the networking activity been presented as an optional feature of the event? The IRCs Meeting 2019 will talk openly about these “pink elephants” and will address in particular the centrality of networking by assigning a central place in the programme to the Networking Activity, which will take place for the first time on Saturday afternoon, as part of the main programme. Uncertainty is one of the biggest pink elephants in the IRC room. While in Birmingham the Brexit was for obvious reasons at the centre of the debate of last year, the approaching end of the current Erasmus+ Programme is bringing more questions than answers. Besides the news about the doubling of the budget, many other important details are still

    OUR MUSIC CITY STRATEGY PROPOSAL FOR THE MARICOPA ASSOCIATION OF GOVERNMENTS PREPARED BY Sound Diplomacy INTRODUCTION Music City Strategy This set of ideas is presented to Maricopa Association of Governments to provide an introduction to Music City Strategies and explain how Sound Diplomacy's services can help to develop the Greater Phoenix region and State of Arizona as a leading Music environment.

The term "Music City" (or ‘Music Cities') is becoming widely used in cultural communities and has penetrated the political vernacular in many cities around the world. Once identified solely with Tennessee' s storied capital of songwriting and music business, Nashville, Music City now also describes communities of various sizes that have a vibrant music economy which they actively promote." Since late 2013, when a report commissioned on the future of live music in Adelaide, South Australia questioned the role of music in economic development and cultural placemaking, the term has developed its own trajectory, ending up in events (our Music Cities Convention), promotional campaigns and economic impact assessments.

  • Cultural Diplomacy Harmonizing International Relations Through Music
    Cultural Diplomacy Harmonizing International Relations through Music By Mary Einbinder Master of Arts Thesis Gallatin School of Individualized Studies New York University May 2013 Cultural Diplomacy: Harmonizing International Relations through Music Abstract This thesis argues for the promotion of music as a cultural diplomacy instrument to improve intercultural communication and cooperation between the peoples of the world. How can music contribute to international cooperation and cross-cultural understanding? This question will be studied through an interdisciplinary framework connecting the fields of international relations and cultural studies. The constructivist theory in international relations fits best within this framework as it considers how the international structure is “socially constructed” and thus capable of being transformed by ideas, thoughts, beliefs and discourses. Constructivism focuses the analysis of international relations on human consciousness. This research derives from Milton Cummings’ definition of cultural diplomacy. “Cultural diplomacy” for Cummings is the exchange of ideas, values and information having for ultimate goal to promote mutual understanding. Cummings’s definition thus includes cultural relations and intercultural exchanges. This thesis disproves the notion of music as being a universal language in arguing that not every culture of the world relates to music the same way. A universal characteristic of music however, is its capacity to express man’s deepest emotions. Music through its ability

Executive Summary From acapella miners songs in the 1950s to blues music in the 1970s, hip-hop in the 1990s and modern electronic music today, Katowice has always been at the forefront of developing new music in Poland. With its rich history as a key manufacturing base and its modern make-up as City of Music, it is time for Katowice to emerge as a national leader in music making and music business. To do so will fully capitalise on the talent that is being incubated within its inner and outer borders. The production of this study and the denomination of Katowice as a UNESCO City of Music and entrance into UNESCO’s network is the first step of many to professionalise, develop and ultimately better communicate what has been developing in Katowice for many years.

    DAS PROGRAMM / THE PROGRAM WORD! CONFERENCE WORD! THE WIRELESS HiFi SYSTEM FILL YOUR HOME WITH MUSIC EDITORIAL BERLIN MUSIC WEEK BERLIN MUSIC WEEK, 3.–7. SEPT. 2014 Dear guests, Welcome to the 5th Berlin Music Week! We’re looking forward to sharing with you this new and constantly evolving event, which has become an indispensable part of the Berlin music scene. We would like to thank you for wanting to be part of it and for taking an interest in our work, which has been made possible by our fantastic team within Germany and abroad. We can guarantee that you won’t just have a huge amount of fun, you’re sure to also take away lasting impressions and inspiration for your future work. In the true spirit of this city, we’ve taken the soundtrack of the movie “everything was better in the old days” and tossed it in the bin. Instead, we set out to look for – forgive the megalomania, it’s part of it all – the future of music. We found what we were looking for in the hundreds of artists who applied for the Berlin Music Week. They will be hitting our stages at the award shows, the showcase festival First We Take Berlin, and the Berlin Fes- tival, as well as on trucks, rooftops or in the streets for the new First We Take the Streets. We also found the future of music in another kind of band –the startup companies that are bringing change and innovation to the music industry, opening up new possibilities.
