Welcome!

The Pop and Jazz Platform Working Group of the Association Européenne des Conservatoires, Académies de Musique et Musikhochschulen (AEC) likes to welcome you to this website.

The Working Group has designed this website to launch the first of its three Bulletins. The Bulletins aim to document a three-year exploration of aspects of audience development and engagement that is being conducted within the frame of the AEC Pop & Jazz Platform (PJP) from 2015 until 2017. In the Bulletins, you will find details of each PJP meeting, together with reflections by PJP Working Group members.

The first Bulletin, The Audience [Re-]engaged. Pop, Jazz and ME – developing diversity and identities amongst artists and audiences, is now available here. The Working Group kindly invites you to share your thoughts and opinions about the articles in the comments section underneath each contribution.

Please find here more information about the FULL SCORE project and the way the PJP meetings are embedded within it.
