Australian Musical Futures: Towards 2020

The MCA is initiating a series of think tanks, titled Australian Musical Futures.

Towards 2020 is the first of these think tanks. It follows through on the Commonwealth Government's summit, focussing on the music sector, filling in the gaps and further developing some of the recommendations.

It brings together one hundred leaders and thinkers from across the music sector to consider futures in education related to music, music in the community, music infrastructure, the interventions of government through legislation and regulation including copyright, and funding, and the possible shape of the new music industry.

The papers on these pages were provided to participants as background to their discussions. Most of the papers have been transferred to the Knowledge Base on the MCA site, where they will be available for so long as they remain pertinent. In due course, these summit pages will be closed and readers may then wish to refer to the Knowledge Base.
