Despite the thousands of concert halls worldwide, global music still struggles for visibility. Classical giants and familiar names dominate, while emerging artists from under-represented regions face limited access to stages and promotion. This session explores bold programming strategies, successful case studies, and actionable ideas to shift the tide – bringing more global styles and jazz into the spotlight.
