[MUSIC NETWORK SUPPORTING
TRANS-NATIONAL EXCHANGE AND
DISSEMINATION OF MUSIC RESOURCES
ON EUROPEAN LEVEL]
TO WHOM IS ADDRESSED
Music Culture and creativity is an important aspect of the European Identity.
In parallel the music industry employs over 600.000 people across the European Union
and represents a global market of more than 40 billion euro. Music industry is an industry
in mutation with new consumption methods to be anticipated, new economic models
to discover, new activities and new professions to define.
Thus we really need to join forces and undertake specific common activities targeting
the richness of the European music sector, the increased mobility of cultural workers
and the increased circulation of art works at European level, in the perspective
of European integration.
In this frame MINSTREL comes to overcome the following existing problems:
a) A lot of music material while is collected and digitized at national level,
is not easy accessible be the European citizens and professionals.
b) Rich music civilizations and live local music movements of several European countries
are not well known to other countries and
c) while music is an international language, the musicians are active mainly only
in their countries and have not the necessary opportunities to have recognition
or a presence to other counties.
