Why is their impact still not recognized?

About As Told By

The music industry is a fascinating place. She fizzes, she sparkles, she falls and gets up at least as quickly. There is tons of creativity, entrepreneurial spirit and fun. But we can also do things better. In AS TOLD BY we discuss how.

In this series of roundtable discussions, we take a closer look at a number of social issues that play a role in the sector. A dynamic music sector calls for new challenges. It's equally important to discover them.

Esther Nwanu steers every conversation in the right direction and sits around the table with some interesting key figures.

Come listen and join the conversation in our Trix Café.
Admission is completely free. Doors open at 19:30, the conversation always starts at 8 p.m. sharp.
