The FMC Hosts Free Event At Kleinhans
An exciting and free event will be held in Livingston Hall at Kleinhans on April 2nd from 10am-4pm. This event is being held by the Future of Music Coalition (FMC), who partnered with the American Federation of Musicians Local 92, the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra and other community groups, to bring about a seminar called: “What’s The Future For Musicians?â€
FMC is a national non-profit that deals with the issues at the intersection of music, technology, policy, and law. This daylong event features presenters with a wide range of experience who will be discussing the issues that FMC helps musicians with all the time. Some of the topical issues to be discussed are promotion and distribution, access to media outlets such as radio, compensation in the digital age, and the importance of open Internet structures.
The check-in begins at 9:30am and after a brief welcoming, the day begins. The afternoon should provide a unique opportunity to sit with other musicians and have discussions on the issues they face after listening to presentations with a lot of expertise. The afternoon has two breakout sessions led by peer-experts that will feature roundtable discussions on the topics covered.
The FMC does ask that people interested in attending RSVP, which you can do here or they can call the American Federation of Musicians Local 92 at 716-842-6466. You can also check out a full event schedule here and with a couple of clicks, you can also see the event schedule for the presentations being held by the FMC in Rochester, Syracuse, and Albany.
