Wavelength to host “What Makes a Music City?” discussion panel
January 25th, 2016
On Sunday January 31, 2016, Toronto not-for-profit arts organization Wavelength will host a free, all-ages, and accessible panel discussion “What Makes a Music City?” at Markham House City Building Lab (610 Markham Street).
The discussion aims to explore Toronto’s push towards branding itself as a Music City and is seeking the public’s input into how the city can best serve the music community during its growth.
The panel will be moderated by Wavelength’s Emily Scherzinger and will include Rolf Klausener (Artistic Director, Arboretum Festival), Ayo Leilani (Artist, Above Top Secret & 88 Days of Fortune collective), Daniel Silver (U of T Sociology, Chicago Music City researcher), and Amy Terrill (Music Canada, 4479).
A community poll has also been set up as part of the Wavelength #ICYMI gallery exhibition at Markham House City Building Lab, allowing people to drop of suggestions and questions which will be addressed at the Jan 31 panel.
In 2015, Wavelength hosted several Toronto music panels including the Toronto Music City Town Hall, The Toronto Music Moment and Youth In Toronto Music: Trends, Barriers & Experiences.
