Wavelength Panel Discussion: What Makes a Music City?

“What Makes a Music City?”

Wavelength Panel Discussion

Sunday January 31  3-5pm

Markham House City Building Lab, 610 Markham Street

FREE + ALL AGES

With the recent focus on the importance on the music sector and investment in the music industry, Toronto is making the effort to brand itself as a Music City. But what makes a town a Music City? What infrastructure and support systems are needed? Where can we grow, evolve, or even cut back? How can a Music City support everyone in the music community?

Join us for an accessible and interactive discussion on the evolution of Music Cities – with a focus not just on Toronto, but across the province of Ontario and around the world!

Panelists:

Rolf Klausener (Artistic Director, Arboretum Festival)

Ayo Leilani (Artist, Above Top Secret & 88 Days of Fortune collective)

Daniel Silver (U of T Sociology, Chicago Music City researcher)

Amy Terrill (Music Canada, 4479 Toronto)

Moderated by: Emily Scherzinger (Wavelength)

HAVE YOUR SAY in advance and add YOUR answer to our “What Makes a Music City” community poll as part of the Wavelength #ICYMI gallery exhibition at Markham House City Building Lab, open to the public Thursdays-Sundays, 12-7pm.
