Launch of ECMA Career Platforms for Chamber Music Ensembles
Are you a concert organiser, festival curator or music agent interested in young and upcoming Chamber Music Ensembles from around Europe or are you a young and upcoming Chamber Music Ensemble and looking for inspiration and tips and tricks to develop your career?
ECMA – European Chamber Music Academy invites you to the launch of two unique online platforms:
ECMA Career Skills Platform – a wealth of material to develop your career as a chamber music ensemble
The ECMA Switchboard – a unique presentation platform for ECMA ensembles
Two online platforms aiming to support young Chamber Music Ensembles to start off their careers have been developed by the ECMA community within the EU-co-funded project ECMA Pro – International Career Development and Socially Engaged Outreach in Chamber Music, and will be launched in a hybrid event on 1st June 2023.
The ECMA Career Skills Platform provides a grand variety of material for young
musicians to actively and autonomously work on their projects and further develop their careers. The Introductory Course on Project Management includes readers, exercises and further information on how to create, present, communicate, organize and finance your musical project; and prestigious international professionals such as Sonia Simmenauer, Andreas Sønning and Tiziana Tentoni share their experiences and know-how on promotion and marketing, musical entrepreneurship and the future of the music business and how to move in it.
The ECMA Switchboard will present ECMA ensembles to an international professional audience, providing essential information for concert organizers, festival curators and agents on the lookout for young talent. The ensembles presented on the ECMA Switchboard are composed of excellent, independent and innovative ensemble musicians who can meet the high professional demands in tomorrow’s music scene.
The event is on Thursday, 1 June 2023 – 17.00-18.40 CET (by Austrian time zone). You can participate in the event via Zoom. The event will feature contributions from Johannes Meissl (Artistic Director ECMA), Sonia Simmenauer (Impressariat Simmenauer), Mantautas Krukauskas (LMTA, Vilnius) and many more.
