World Forum on Music 2011 Talinn
World Forum on Music 26 September - 2 October 2011, Talinn Estonia
About the IMC World Forum on Music
The biennial IMC World Forum on Music is conceived as an influential global knowledge-building platform on music and society in the 21st century, which explores a variety of topics from diverse perspectives: cultural, political and economical. Topics go beyond the aesthetic aspects of music production and address those mechanisms and incentives that undermine or foster people’s active participation in cultural experiences. A non-commercial initiative, the forum provides the opportunity for government officials, private sector executives, music managers, activists, scholars and practitioners to engage in high-level, cross-disciplinary debates and to design the course of action for the future.
The initiative to hold a biennial World Forum on Music was launched at the IMC’s 30th General Assembly in Montevideo (2003). Three editions have taken place since: in Los Angeles in 2005, Beijing in 2007, Tunis in 2009; the last edition attracted about 200 participants from 59 nations.
