CMC presents Developing an Audience

The Contemporary Music Centre, Ireland

Creative practitioners are heavily dependent on others discovering, and listening to, their music, but how can they reach a wider audience?

Developing an Audience by Rob Farhat The fourth in a series of CMC Continuing Professional Development (CPD) events throughout November 2020 features Developing an Audience with Rob Farhat, Talent Development &amp; Programme Manager at Serious in London. Creative practitioners are heavily dependent on others discovering, and listening to, their music. CMC is providing this session to assist composers and other contemporary music specialists to disseminate their music at home and abroad, including coping with some additional dissemination challenges (among others) they may be facing due to Covid-19. In the course of an overview of audience development and dissemination in general with CMC’s Linda O’Shea Farren, Rob Farhat will outline practical steps that composers and performers can take, and various avenues they can explore, to get their music heard by a wider audience. Those who sign up to participate are encouraged to email specific situations, challenges, questions, etc. in advance to rsvp@cmc.ie. All questions are valid - questions may relate to specific problems or can be general in nature. Registration is free of charge to participants, and all interested are welcome to participate.
