Faculty Speak on the Future of Music: Where the Music Industry is Headed

Tekserve Presents: **A Panel Discussion of The Future of Music**, hosted by Harry Allen and Karriem Shabazz

On June 20th at 8:30pm, you will have the opportunity to enjoy refreshments at Tekserve and sit back while four industry heavyweights discuss where music and the music industry is headed. The panel will go over a host of music topics: What have we gained, what have we lost? What are we going to hear in the next ten years? What are we going to feel? How will music be sold? How will it be produced? How will it be performed? Prior to the panel discussion, you will hear from Steve Gordon, author of THE FUTURE OF THE MUSIC BUSINESS: How to Succeed with the New Technologies, A Guide for Artists and Entrepreneurs. In addition, you'll have the chance to pose your own question to the panelists at the end of the discussion.
