Live Music Takes Centre Stage At MIDEM 2006
MIDEM 2006 - the world's music market - will once again highlight the importance of the live music sector. Special events include a dedicated conference forum and a complete live concert programme, which will span five days. MIDEM, celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2006 and will take place in Cannes, France, 22 - 26 January. For the second consecutive year, the Live Music Network brings together key professionals from the live music sector for a series of related discussions. Two panels will focus on world-wide touring and the exposure of artists and repertoire within the major world markets. The day will kick-off with two exceptional keynotes : Harvey Goldsmith, Managing Director of Harvey Goldsmith Productions Ltd (UK), and Kevin Wall, CEO of Network Live and Executive TV Producer for Live 8 (USA). The Live Music Network will be held on January 23, in the Palais des Festivals. Pioneers in the distribution of live music via Internet, radio and satellite, Goldsmith and Wall's impressive careers include the production of the spectacular Live 8 concerts on 2 July 2005. The global event succeeded in bringing massive public attention to the G8 summit and triggered a strong response from the international community to help alleviate poverty and famine in Africa. Participants at MIDEM's Live Music Network will have the unique opportunity to not only share the challenges of organising such a huge event as Live 8, but also to appreciate how new technologies were used to amplify its political impact. Kevin Wall also founded the multi-platform, digital entertainment network, Network Live. The organisation is at the forefront of new distribution channels for live music and a joint venture with the world's largest Internet service provider AOL, major American satellite radio company XM Satellite Radio and leading events organisation AEG. The Live Music Network is organised in association with Music Managers Forum and European Live Music Forum in conjunction with VIP Booking and Musikwoche/Live Daily. For 40 years the MIDEM concerts offer not only an exceptional environment to enjoy well-known artists from all over the world but also an opportunity to discover new talent that has yet to make an impact on the international stage. Last January, MIDEM brought together a talented and varied pool of performers: Chuck D, Louie Vega, Skin, Seu Jorge, Grand National, The Pharcyde, Nouvelle Vaque, TTC, Frankie Knuckles, Matt Haimovitz, Gidon Kremer (Kremerata Baltica), Sara Lazarus Quartet, André Ceccarelli, Jordi Savall, Hilary Kahn, Nigel Kennedy, Felicity Lott... Each year MIDEM stages approximately 80 concerts in fifteen venues throughout Cannes. The concerts feature more than 400 performing artists and cover a wide range of music genres from pop, rock, hip-hop, electronic music, world music, jazz, classical... They are open to delegates and over 10,000 free seats are offered to the general public. MIDEM's 40th edition is set to stage a dazzling and vibrant line-up.
