Music Cities with Shain Shapiro
What is the significance of music for cities? How could music solve problems that have nothing to do with music? And in what ways can the industry bounce back in a post-COVID era? In collaboration with WORM we invite Shain Shapiro for a live interview on Music Cities. Shapiro is founder of Sound Diplomacy, a leading global advisor on growing music and night time economies in cities and places, based in London. We will discuss the importance of music ecosystems for communities, how to formulate a viable urban music strategy, and what music-based policies can contribute to the U.N.’s Social Development Goals. Join us!
