In difficult economic times of natural selection, the private organisations that are music ensembles become the first target of budget cuts, decreases in private funding and business opportunities.
Despite this fierce competition, they need to preserve their artistic creativity and their European identity as mobile and innovative entrepreneurs, to stand up against rampant national protectionism.
In France and Spain,national associations lobby together, share best practice, develop mutualised tools to cut costs. A European platform, FEVIS Europe, supports music groups that desperately need tools, skills, networking and visibility.
Find out what you can gain by cooperating with your counterparts, contribute by sharing your own needs, give a voice to a European ensembles movement. Cooperation is something our sector needs.
