In 2024, Nordic Music Days commissioned an independent evaluation with Tialt as cultural learning and reflection partners of the festival 2024 in Glasgow to:
•Explore the cultural value of the festival
•Describe the cultural impact of the shared creative processes
•Explore NMD more broadly as a platform for cultural exchange and artistic innovation that embeds sustainability
The enriching international collaboration has offered an opportunity for reflection on Nordic Music Days’ role as a festival within the Nordics as well as with an international community to inspire contemporary music across borders. This summary report explores the impact of the Nordic Music Days (NMD) collaboration for cultural exchange, artistic innovation and embedding sustainability in the international cultural sector.
“Making, experiencing, sharing, talking about and thinking about music and sound brings people together.. to make more sense of all that we are and want to be.”
