THE BALKANS AND EASTERN EUROPE – A NEW MARKET FOR POPULAR MUSIC?

FRIDAY, MAY 27TH - 14:00 – 14.45 - THE BALKANS AND EASTERN EUROPE – A NEW MARKET FOR POPULAR MUSIC? 

The countries of Southeastern Europe are closer to EU than ever before, with some countries already being official EU members and some official candidates for EU membership. Three experienced music professionals from Serbia, Romania and Bulgaria will shed light on the possibilities in the new Balkan market – a music market in growth, right in the backyard of EU.

He is leading a team which is organizing a festival that is the biggest cultural happening in the region. Every year this team grows from only 10 people to 5.000. It becomes the biggest machinery that involves management of thousands.
