»music management & economy«
Listeners, musicians, music labels, publishers, radio stations, streaming services, record
shops, concert organisers and collecting societies – they are all part of the music universe.
But there are also numerous other planets.
The music universe gives an overview of the most important elements and players in the
“music industry” system. It shows the relationships between the planets and ultimately
answers a very central question: Who actually pays whom?

Under the heading »Project Funding« we will get you ready for grant applications in autumn with introductions to the funding landscapes of Berlin and Cologne, application writing, or accounting.
In a second block of workshops, topics such as time management, ensemble management, as well as insights into the music business, will direct our attention to the world around the music stands.
