NMS NEXT TUESDAY IN NYC: 2 FOR 1 CREDENTIALS AVAILABLE
posted in: Music News
The New Music Seminar led an insurgency that ushered in a new generation of music business leaders. The 21st century music business sorely needs that spirit again.
The first NMS showed us how to hotwire the family Cadillac. The next NMS will show us how to choose the best hybrid on the lot.
– Roland Swenson, Managing Director of SXSW
The New Music Seminar is taking place Tuesday, July 21st in NYC at the at the New York University Steinhardt’s Skirball Center for the Performing Arts, and is presented in association with the music business program at New York University Steinhardt.
