German music conventions to join up for Reeperbahn event
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 20 September 2010
German music industry types, like their counterparts here in the UK, now have a fair few annual conventions to slot into their calendars, making the music business conference sector in Germany pretty competitive.
But three of those annual events have decided to cooperate moving forward via a new joint venture called Three Dimensions (or, really, ‘Drei Dimensionen’, them being German and all), and those three conferences will be hosting an event next Saturday as part of Hamburg’s Reeperbahn Festival. Reeperbahn are one of the conventions involved in Three Dimensions, along with Berlin Music Week and c/o pop.
A rep for the joint venture told CMU: “For many years the three major German capitals of music have eyed each other suspiciously and focused on ostracising the others. After a couple of beers, however, the movers of the Berlin Music Week, the Reeperbahn Festival and c/o pop discovered that their situations are surprisingly similar and that, despite all competitiveness, they could cooperate extremely well”.
He continued: “On the one hand our locations are in line with their vital music scenes and trade associations and on the other, they can create different core competencies for the events of their industries, thus further developing German music culture and jointly presenting it on an international scale”.
Reps from the Three Dimensions will be revealing more about their collaboration at the Campus Lounge at the Reeperbahn Festival this Saturday at 6pm. More about the Reeperbahn Festival is online at www.reeperbahnfestival.com.
