Join us for a seminar exploring inclusive contemporary music practice and how we can collaborate across the Nordics, Baltics and Scotland to enhance equity for disabled composers and musicians.

Learn more about innovative practice and key challenges, connect with a cross-border network and contribute to a more inclusive future for the contemporary music and sound sector.

Location: Kulturværftet, Helsingør, Denmark
Optional evening concert: Beats, Sounds and Strings, with Elefantora and Gageego, 19.00 (7.pm) at Helsingborg Konserthus (25% discount code on registration)

The seminar is free, booking required
The seminar is the first event of the New Music ExChange project, bringing together organisations from the Nordics, Scotland and the Baltics to create new opportunities, share knowledge and challenge barriers in music education, festivals and professional practice.
As part of the work we are also conducting a ‘temperature check’ to map the current level of knowledge about inclusive practice and hear from composers and artists about their experience. We invite you to take the survey, which takes five minutes.

New Music ExChange: Enhancing Equity in Contemporary Music is a collaboration between Nordic Music Days, Danish Composers Society, Share Music & Performing Arts, Drake Music Scotland and the Baltic Contemporary Music Network.
This project is made possible with support from Erasmus+, the Nordic Culture Point Culture and Art Programme financed by the Nordic Council of Ministers, the Swedish–Danish Fund, the Swedish–Lithuanian Fund, Kulturværftet, Helsingør and Helsingborgs Konserthus.
New Music ExChange is a three-year international collaboration (2025–2027) dedicated to advancing equity in contemporary music for disabled composers and musicians.
Emerging from connections made at Nordic Music Days 2024, the project brings together organisations from the Nordics, Scotland and the Baltics to create new opportunities, share knowledge and challenge barriers within music education, festivals and professional practice.
Through panel discussions, seminars, masterclasses, workshops and knowledge labs, the partnership will explore inclusive approaches to composition and performance, culminating in the presentation of new inclusive repertoire at Nordic Music Days 2027.
Participating organisations include ShareMusic & Performing Arts, the Danish Composers’ Society (on behalf of the Council of Nordic Composers, NKR), the Baltic Contemporary Music Network, and Drake Music Scotland.
