LISTEN TO BERLIN: YOUTH
Making young people and their great potential audible and opening up professional and artistic perspectives
LISTEN TO BERLIN: YOUTH –
YOUR SPRINGBOARD INTO THE MUSIC INDUSTRY
With LISTEN TO BERLIN: YOUTH, we give young musicians and young people interested in the industry the chance to be heard and to find new paths into the world of music and work.
In collaboration with youth culture centres and experts from the music industry, the Berlin Music Commission (BMC) supports young talents by offering them events that not only focus on musical promotion, but also provide experience in various music professions.
On 13 November 2024, the LISTEN TO BERLIN: YOUTH – Festival with Summit & Showcase will be all about the next generation of music makers, creatives and people interested in the industry. Immerse yourself in a day full of inspiring panels, roundtables, practical workshops and live music at the legendary Frannz Club in the Kulturbrauerei Berlin from 10 am to 10.30 pm. Here you can network with professionals and like-minded people, get a taste of the world of the music industry and find the tools and knowledge to turn your artistic or professional ideas into reality.
Secure your free ticket – places are limited and in high demand!
Throughout the year, there are also youth showcases and network meetings, so-called satellite events, organised by young people for young people at cooperating youth cultural centres.
The potential of young people can also be heard on the new annual LISTEN TO BERLIN: COMPILATION. Four young acts can now expand your playlists. Three of them are in the running for the youth prize, which is awarded at the LISTEN TO BERLIN: AWARDS. They will also have the chance to perform at major events throughout the year – thanks to our new LISTEN TO BERLIN: LIVE format.
All dates for the satellite events and LISTEN TO BERLIN: LIVE will be published in our event calendar and on the LISTEN TO BERLIN social media channels.
