MUSIC CURRENT 2022 - Future Music?: Panel Discussion

Panel Participants:
Toner Quinn (The Journal of Music)
Malgorzata Walentynowicz (Ensemble Garage)
Natacha Diels (composer, USA)
Fergal Dowling (Dublin Sound Lab, Music Current Festival)

Each year at Music Current Festival music audiences and the wider public are invited to engage in debates and discussions concerning how music making is affected by technology, social changes and the political environment.

Following nearly two years of restrictions on public gatherings, and performances in particular, how do we now feel about concert music? What changes have occurred in the concert music environment and ecosystem? Having been categorised as the least essential workers, how do musicians perceive their place or role in society? And what is the role of the audience in future music making? After being encouraged to think of themselves as vectors for disease, how will audiences re-engage with live music performance?

The discussion is open and accessible to public participation and contributions are welcome from the audience.

This event is hosted in collaboration with the CMC and will be recorded for the amplify podcast. The discussion will be moderated by CMC Director, Evonne Ferguson.
