Transatlantic Music Bridge: the German-American 'Music Embassy'

This panel explores the idea behind the Transatlantic Music Bridge, a collaboration between the cities of Dortmund and Oklahoma City. Breaking an artist is an incredibly complex undertaking, even more so outside of their home turf. This project is designed to help artists and creative talents on both sides of the Atlantic to learn, gain experience, and grow artistically to achieve success by performing internationally. Drawn up by business professionals with decades of knowledge of how artists can establish themselves in multiple territories, the concept is also designed to secure the necessary funding to present an artist in a territory outside of their home country for an extended period of time. Join us to find out how the Transatlantic Music Bridge is helping artists build sustainable careers.
