ROCE - community music at concerthouses in Germany

Thank you to ROCE (La Red de Organizadores de Conciertos Eduvativos), the Spanish association for education activities in concerts, for inviting me to talk at their annual conference on community music in concert halls in Germany. It was supposed to take place in Tenerife, but instead, because of COVID it takes place online In the talk I discuss my experiences in developing Community Music at the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra and the Konzerthaus Dortmund.

Community Music Learning YouTube channel

I'm happy to share this new Community Music Learning YouTube channel with you, I have worked on this for the last few months with collegues from Canada (Prof. Lee Willingham), Ireland (Dr. Kathleen Turner) and the UK (Prof. Dr. Lee Higgins), and we keep developing it as an ongoing collaboration. It is a growing resource for community music researchers and practitioners.
