MUSIC CITIES EVENTS
BY SOUND DIPLOMACY
Spotlighting & strengthening music
& cultural ecosystems globally
CITIES WE'VE WORKED WITH
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. In 2024, we hosted the Music Cities Convention to help guide music policy and music advocacy conversations taking place in the region, as Saudi Arabia is expanding its music ecosystem to comply with its 2030 vision strategy.
Huntsville, AL, USA. In 2023 we hosted the Music Cities Convention to put a bow on the music advocacy work that Sound Diplomacy had done alongside the city, leading to the city’s first Music Audit, the creation of Huntsville’s Music Office and the construction of the Orion Amphitheater.
Bogota, Colombia. In 2018, we hosted the Nocturnal Cities forum to help include music stakeholders in public policy discussions and showcase the Music Cities defining publication developed by Sound Diplomacy alongside ProColombia and UNWTO: “Music Is The New Gastronomy - White Paper on Music And Tourism”.
