Innehåll: The Arctic Music Circles project aims to engender new forms of music
collaboration, visibility and branding as well as and lasting structures for
the needs of Arctic music sector. The core of the project is in rotative
working methods to establish genuine, in-depth collaboration between the
project partners and stakeholders in the field of music in Interreg Aurora
program area to develop the regions creative industries together in an enduring
network of music producers and organizers.

The project concentrates largely in co-creating together. One of the goals is
to construct a three-level tour and concert support model, which adds more
support in the first year of collaboration and reduces thus the risk in testing
new ideas. We lead the artists, producers and organizers to a dialogue and
facilitate new forms of artistic processes and productional collaboration with
training opportunities, curated music programs and selected tour and concert
experiences. To weave the story of Arctic music in one fabric, we cultivate the
brand of Arctic Pulse further and establish a shared marketing concept for
Northern music, under which all project activities are communicated.

As a project outcome, Arctic Music Circles presents a permanent framework for
music collaboration in the Arctic European area.
