The Next Note Music Conference, a forum which will allow college and high school students to meet and engage with music professionals to consider the future of the industry, is coming to Hostos Community College’s Repertory Theater on Friday, April 27, 2012.
Unlike traditional “top down” conferences where professionals dictate to aspiring artists what it takes to be successful, “Next Note” will engage students by empowering them to rethink and redesign the industry’s prospects.
The conference will feature a series of discussions on music performance, production, marketing and consumption. Artists, producers, record executives and critics will have a round table discussion about their career paths, current projects and their visions for the future. Students in music programs will then have a chance to lend their voices to the discussion about how they foresee the shape of the music industry.
