Musikdenken: Kreativität und Pluralismus

A symposium held by the Austrian Music Council and the Vienna Music University in Vienna, Austria, is profiled. The topic was "creativity and pluralism: conditions of music-related work in Austria in a time of musical diversity." Some of the speakers included Harald Ossberger lecturing on creativity through pluralism, Peter Tschmuck discussing how the music industry crisis is actually a crisis of the recording industry, and Peter Skrepek reporting on how the music scene flourishes in countries where public radio is based on plurality and national repertoire.
