Contemporary Music For Kids09/06/2013
Timo Klemettinen EMU board member:
The musical world in which young people and children are living is narrowed by the influence of the economical interests of the global media companies. Young people around the world is listening more or less the same artists which are choosen and marketed for consumers by major recording companies.
The composers from the field of classical contemporary music, jazz and world music have great difficilties to find new audiences and have a dialogue with younger generations.
Therefore the initiative New Music for Kids and Teens of the ISCM Slovak section which aims to enhance the co-operation between composers and teachers, pupils and students is higly important and needed.
Composers have much to offer for music education and youngsters. Every child who will be « the lucky one » and able to work with composer will receive experience which sometimes can change their whole life.
The old image of the composer who is living in his private ebony tower is not any more valid. The composers of today need to act actively inside society and give their own input when building multicultural and innovative societes. This is not possible without initiatives like New Music for Kids and Teens.
