The Marché des Musiques Actuelles - MaMA - is setting up in Paris’s 18th arrondissement: 3 days of music, 72 hours of concerts, symposia, and professional meetings in Pigalle and Montmartre; a wonderful opportunity for our students to be at the heart of an event that will bring together every branch of the music industry.
“In three years, MaMA has proven its usefulness and relevance for France as well as internationally, for the historic heavyweights of music as well as for developing companies, for doing business as well as for thinking collectively, for newcomers to the industry as well as for seasoned professionals seeking an update, for discovering new artists as well as for exchanging with other professionals.” Daniel Colling, director of Printemps de Bourges and MaMA
MaMA chose to work with IESA arts&culture students this year
A group of 40 students will be mobilized for the entire duration of the event and will handle organization, reception, mediation, stage management… in prestigious concert venues: La Machine, Cigale, Boule Noire, Divan du Monde… This partnership is offered to students as part of the academic programs and will be assessed at the end of the semester. Since the start of the school year, music industry professionals, under the leadership of Julien Reine, IESA professor and cultural events consultant, have been training and preparing students for this event: an overview of the music industry and its professions in France and internationally, the challenges of dematerialization, production and distribution, fundraising and artist launches… See you from October 18 to 20 for three days of music meetings and discoveries!
