"Empowering Women In Music" – Showcase & Panel Discussion
Last Monday evening, Reeperbahn Festival, together with the initiative "Keychange", presented a selection of international female artists, including the new "Keychange" ambassador and rapper Mavi Phoenix (AT), Gurr (DE), Lowly (DK), as well as SOAK (UK) at the Palm Door on Sixth club. The showcase was funded by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media upon a decision of the German Bundestag.
The event "How to achieve a gender balance in the music sector - comparing aims and measures in Europe and the U.S.", taking place at the German Haus, compared different insights and measures for gender equality in the two markets, contrasting the European initiative "Keychange" with US initiatives. Taking part in the discussion were:
Vanessa Reed, (PRS Foundation, UK)
Andreya Casablanca and Laura Lee, singers of the band Gurr (DE)
Danielle Middleton (Sony ATV, US)
Maria Gironas (YouTube, US)
Hosted by: Sharyn Goldyn (School Night, US)
"Immersive Experiences" – Panel Discussion & Presentation
The well-attended sessions on immersive media also took place at the German Haus. Moreover Reeperbahn Festival gave a first taste of its Hamburg event at the German Haus on 12 March by presenting the "Symphony Of Noise VR" by Matthew Herbert. The work, specially composed for presentation at Reeperbahn Festival, merges the compositions of the British sound scientist with virtual reality, thus creating an innovative music adventure to be experienced in September.
All panel discussions took place in the course of the program "Deutschlandjahr USA", funded by the German Federal Foreign Office and organized by the Goethe Institute and the Federation of German Industries (BDI). In this context, Reeperbahn Festival, in cooperation with re:publica and next media accelerator, will present its "Sequencer Tour" programme at various locations across the US.
