This was the IMZ Academy 2020 on higher music education

The online IMZ Academy 2020 “The Complete Performer of the Future – Embracing Media Skills in Music Education” established the importance of media skills for the next generation of musicians.

What kind of skills beyond musical excellence do classical performers need to thrive in our ever-increasing digital world and how can these be trained by Conservatoires?
