Kirklees Year of Music 2023
Music Cities Forum
14 November 2023, Huddersfield, UK
The Music Cities Forum is a smaller version of the Music Cities Convention, an event that looks regionally at best practices on the use of music to improve city life.
This event brings together experts and industry professionals to explore the role and impact of music across education, economic development, health, youth, environment, community building, placemaking, tourism, the future of the city and more.
The Kirklees Music Cities Forum will be taking place on November 14th, 2023, at Smile Bar in Huddersfield.
The evening will explore the theme “A Community That Lives And Loves Music”.
Its sessions will give an overview of the activities that Kirklees has done as part of its Year of Music, including hosting the Kirklees Music Ecosystem Network, live events, the PLATFORM programme and more.
Afterwards, it will dive into different presentations, panel discussions and workshops focused on bringing the local music community together and giving it resources to advocate for a stronger local music ecosystem.
This event is directed to all members and advocates of the music and artistic ecosystem, as well as people working on projects related to economic development, public policy and community organisations.
