Amplify Music Communities Podcast

Music is changing locally around the world. Enjoy our Community Conversations with music leaders in cities, regions, and countries from 2020 and 2021. And please get inspired from the panel sessions from the Amplify Music 2021 virtual online conference — also available on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@RethinkNextMusic.

 

Amplify Music Communities began as a quick virtual conference in April 2021 to capture stories and challenges of local music early in the pandemic. We gathered 39 sessions of conversations across 25 hours in April. In April 2021, we gathered conversations back together for AM21.
