In this opportunity for our talk we have the pleasure to have as part of our panel a group of outstanding women with varied professional backgrounds in Music and Culture sharing one same goal: pursuing a much more positive and encouraging path for today’s and upcoming generations of women, to perform as successful professionals inside a sector recognised for its transforming power in society.

Based on their own personal experiences we have the chance to get to know each of these women, as they identify struggles they have faced throughout their careers and recount how they faced challenging situations in the world of music – in a foreign country, language and culture.
