Rochester forum to focus on music, media, technology and policy issues for songwriters, composers and performers from all genres
Rochester, NY – Future of Music Coalition is proud to partner with the Rochester Musicians Association (AFM Local 66) and the Arts and Cultural Council for Greater Rochester to bring the "What's The Future for Musicians?" seminar to Rochester. The free event takes place at Rochester Museum and Science Center on Monday, April 28, from 3 PM to 8:30 PM.
Future of Music Coalition is a national non-profit that deals with issues at the intersection of music, technology, policy and law. FMC helps musicians understand these tricky issues in order to make better-informed decisions regarding their art and livelihood.
Musicians will learn about such topical issues as promotion and distribution, access to media outlets such as radio, compensation in the digital age and the importance of open internet structures. Artists from all genres — including classical, jazz, rock, folk and hip-hop — are welcome.
The seminar will be guided by a core group of presenters who have a wide range of expertise in the music, performance, technology, policy, copyright and law space. Attendees will have an opportunity to interact with peer-experts in breakout sessions and roundtable discussions. "What's The Future for Musicians?" is part of a series of New York State music education events, which also includes presentations in Buffalo, Syracuse and Albany.
