IG World music Austria is a fastly growing, independent network of agents, artists, festivals, labels, media, NGO’s and promoters.
With more than 20 companies exhibiting, 2 showcases and a conference, the central booth AT testimonies that Austria's world music market is clearly expanding.
The project Fair Music, an EU founded initiative for more fairness in the music business is based in Austria. Alexander Hirschenhauser will be attending Womex to network with labels, artists and institutions, working on establishing fair music contract details and proven standards worldwide.
The Austrian umbrella stand will introduce you into Austrias World of music… we organized several meet & greet - also at lunch time - to meet informally and talk about various issues.
Find the dates below.
A special focus will be given to female artists at the Austrian stand. The centenary of the International Women’s Day, which was first honored in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland on 19 March 1911 is the opportunity to focus 2011 on female artists. The Austrian Ministry of foreign affairs published a handbook and an online database together with MICA Women/music Austria, which will be available at the Austrian stand. The festival femous is coordinating 100 events featuring female artists and offering showcase opportunities for our international partners.
You can assist our Austrian showcases, offering a very special approach to worldmusic made in Austria.
Mathias Loibner is a very interesting artist - He plays hurdy-gurdy in an unheard-of way. He treats his instrument tenderly or relentlessly and oscillates between nearly forgotten and newly found sounds - from ancient music to experimental dancefloor.
ZOHREH JOOYA & her ENSEMBLE AFGHAN instead is working with traditional afghan music and setting a political statement for peace.
The conference organized by the Austrian based IMZ will give insights into music video production and promotion.
At the Austrian Events at our booth, you will have the opportunity to netwrok & meet most of our delegates.
