2023 is here. As announced for several years, Musique en Territoires has patiently operated its mue. By changing its face, its form, adapting to the territorial context, Musique en Territoires has adopted a new style, always at the crossroads of amateur and professional practices. A resource center for some, a toolbox for others, a place of meeting and exchange, Musique en Territoire supports the reflection of cultural institutions in a constrained space, where culture, like the field of social and solidarity economy, remains on the margins of society for our councillors, in spite of promises and announcements.
For 2023, we wish to all of you to remain vigilant and supportive, active in these issues, so that our missions remain in connection with the field and that the institutions are always at our side, concerned by the issues we are carrying.
In 2023, we will always be there for you, at your side, whatever the case may be! Happy new year to all,

Tristan KRENC

In the ocasion of the World Choral Day December 2022, Musique en Territoires, together with with other French partenrs (CMF, IFAC, ACJ) we have drafted a map of the amateur singer ecosystem …

Voices of culture : Youth, mental health and culture

Voices of Culture is delighted to announce the publication of the Brainstorming Report on the topic ‘Youth, Mental Health and Culture'.
