Together for music - the podcast of the German Music Council
The German Music Council (DMR) is committed to the interests of 15 million people who make music in Germany and is the world's largest national umbrella organization for music culture. We are convinced that music contributes to social cohesion, democracy and understanding in Europe and the world. In the podcast, we talk about musically and socially relevant topics and address issues that affect the music scene. Where should contemporary funding structures start? What does diversity in music look like and how can it be made visible? We talk about the structure and working methods of the DMR, about artistic priorities and the specific musical work of our projects (including Jugend musiziert, Bundesjugendorchester, Podium Gegenwart and Forum Dirigieren). Our team of presenters consists of experts from the music scene and takes turns in producing the episodes: Together for Music.
