Tekserve Presents: Future of Music 2 , hosted by Harry Allen
On
September 26th at 8:30pm, Tekserve hosted The Future of Music 2. They
had an overwhelming positive response with their first event and found
that there was still so much more to cover. Harry Allen came back to
moderate and pick the brains of some of the music industry’s best
producers and to initiate an important discussion on where music and
the music industry are headed. The panelists discussed topics such as:
What have we gained, what have we lost? What are we going to hear in
the next ten years? How will music be sold? How will it be produced?
How will it be performed? At the end of the discussion, the audience
will have a chance to pose questions to the panelists.
