Plans for the Future

Many music fans plan their summer holidays around the festival calendar. And not just audiences – for up-and-coming artists and ensembles, a successful appearance at an outdoor event may be just the boost they need for a dream career. “Festivals” will be the leading motif of this year’s Tak Brzmi Miasto (Sounds of the City) conference. The capital of Małopolska welcomes representatives of the industry, while discussion panels, lectures and workshops introduce young musicians to the inner workings of the business and help them meet reps from some of the most important music events in Europe. Promising young bands perform in the evening during showcase concerts. (Bartosz Suchecki, Kraków Culture)
