Music Cities Network

Recognising that music is an important pillar of transnational culture, a universal art and industry that strengthens social cohesion, local economies and character, the MCN is a worldwide network between music cities dedicated to improving communication, collaboration & policies. The MCN is focused on artist-, business- and city development through joint projects, residencies, showcases, research, publications and networking activities. The Network was initiated in 2016 by Hamburg Music Business Association (IHM) & Sound Diplomacy. Members are Aarhus, Bergen, Berlin, Hamburg, Gothenburg, Groningen, Manchester, Nantes, Reykjavik & Sydney.
