WELCOME TO THE 5TH WORLD FORUM O Welcome to Queensland, welcome to Griffith University, welcome to WFM5 Music plays such an important part in all of our lives, we sometimes almost forget what it means to us. Music marks both the most important and the most pedestrian moments of our lives. We have music for weddings, anniversaries, and funerals, but we also listen to music while shopping, cleaning, or waiting to get through on the phone. Music can be both a profoundly individual and deeply shared experience. It helps define what we are. For this reason, we at Griffith University are proud to offer a place where we help shape the musicians and the music of the future. At any one time, some 800 students study here across a wide array of musical directions, from classical to jazz, from music technology to popular music, from musical theatre to opera. With great pleasure I see and hear many of these students appear in recordings and on stages across Queensland, Australia, and overseas. But our engagement with music goes much further. Queensland Conservatorium Research Centre has become a vibrant centre for thinking about music, exploring artistic research, the education and training of musicians, the relationship between music and communities, and the growing influence of technology on every aspect of learning, creating, performing and disseminating music. It is for that reason that I am delighted to welcome the delegates of the 5th International Music Council’s 5th World Forum on Music and its satellite conference to Brisbane. The program reads like a multifaceted and exciting exploration of the full ‘ecosystem’ of music globally, allowing delegates to take note, discuss, and experience contemporary musical realities, and contribute to ensuring a vibrant future for this important art form that so pervades our lives. I wish you all an inspiring four days, and I am much looking forward to learning about the outcomes of this signature event.

ON MUSIC Some words on the unspeakable … Some verbalisations of the only demonstrable … Musicians and listeners alike
make all their efforts in the end in search for that magic moment, the few minutes or even seconds our blood starts to boil in our veins when experiencing that ‘it’ happens. All that we do in our networks of creators, performers, researchers, heritage safeguards, educators, publishers, instrument builders, managers, journalists and networkers should be directed to this spot of magic, and the process leading to it. Unfortunately this is not always the case. Music is used every now and then as a tool, to solve problems, to earn money, to get famous, to work for a business model, as a gig, to suffocate people’s minds or as a drug to arouse our brains. The worst is music being misused as part of an industry, where form and format are more important than content, in the newest literature on the subject described as ‘artistic capitalism’, the selling of emotions, experiences and sensations: blockbusters in museums, bestsellers, films as cash-machines, ‘top’-art. This contradicts the Five Musical Rights of the International Music Council which defend the rights to express oneself in music, to learn it and to have access, to develop artistry and to obtain just recognition for musical activities. This leads to the concept that arts, culture, music are a laboratory for society, where we share responsibilities. Not an accent on societal relevance only, not music as a tool to solve other people’s other problems. The World Forum on Music has been created to cause the magic spell, to put aside the wrong priorities and to strengthen the Five Musical Rights on their way to 2050. In this process music cannot sit on an island in splendid isolation waiting for better times. All operators as mentioned in the above have their responsibilities, and even more of them. Music as part in the Trinity with Noise and Silence liaises nowadays more and more with other disciplines and fields in the social, ethical, juridical, medical, economical, psychological, pedagogical and planological realms. Music should not be a lonely vessel on the wild waters of a stormy ocean, but rule the sea, proud, conscious, as a master of ceremonies in the holistic total of the ecosystem. It is the content that matters, the creative idea, experimentation preceding composition & performance & the design of the presentation, innovative thinking, research into and analysis of the essentials. What can IMC do for this, as network of networks (of networks (of networks)...)? Inspire, take the message home, in your network, in whatever domain or field your network is operating, change the standing ‘culture’ where needed and appropriate, and try to facilitate the coming into existence of the ‘it’ happening, the moment that we forget to breathe. Have an inspiring Forum and a lot of ‘its’.

HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS When we started planning the 5th IMC World Forum of Music early in 2012, we agreed that it should be an unusual event. An event that avoids tired formats and trodden paths, where both content and format of presentation is fresh, from the opening ceremony to the Brisbane Declaration emanating from the Forum. The core program of the 5th IMC World Forum on Music (WFM5) consists of over 100 plenary and smaller scale moments of engagement which transcend the usual expectation of a conference, allowing greater room for creative discussion space, artistic laboratories, and planting the seed for networking and collaborations across borders and areas of expertise. There are up to five parallel activities at any time for participants to choose from, carefully planned to cater to both the breadth and depth of interests of the delegates. Numerous concerts, demonstrations and ‘random acts of music’ will enliven your days here, both as part of the core conference and in the fringe. Twelve organisations based in Australia and the Asia-Pacific are holding their 2013 meetings before, during or directly after WFM5. Some of these activities have been fully integrated into the program; others have organised their gatherings before or overlapping with WFM5. There are five strands in the program which can be pursued throughout the four days: Music and Communities; Music Education; Music Rights and Advocacy; Music Technology; and Sustainability. These jointly represent an approximation of the ‘ecosystem’ of music. In addition, Youth and China are featured throughout the program. This printed program sketches the outlines of WFM5. In our commitment to sustainability we have decided to publish most detailed content online. On our website (www.worldforumofmusic.org) you will find several tools to make sure you don’t miss a beat. You’ll find a detailed schedule that you can customize to your tastes, streams of select events, and links to subscribe to our newsfeeds. This makes it possible to make your way through the Forum pursuing your interests and discovering new ones.
Professor Huib Schippers is director of Queensland Conservatorium Research Centre and chair of The Music Council of Australia Dr Danielle Bentley is a cellist and an award-winning event manager
We wish you an inspiring four days.

MUSIC SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainability is an issue for all forms of music at all times. It is a concern for remote communities in Central Australia as well as for opera companies in New York. In order to survive, every music has to ensure there are enough competent –and preferably a few brilliant– performers, a sufficient and enthusiastic audience, adequate infrastructure, conducive rules and regulations, and engaged media and music industry. In that sense, sustainability is an overarching theme of the 5th World Forum on Music. While this theme pervades many of the sessions in all five strands, a number of presentations have a specific focus on sustainability. 8
SIGNATURE SESSION: SUSTAINABLE FUTURES This presentation will introduce and report on the preliminary outcomes of the project Sustainable Futures for Music Cultures, a fiveyear international research collaboration led by Queensland Conservatorium Research Centre, which has sought to map the ecologies of nine music cultures. By identifying key factors for music sustainability, its aim is to develop instruments to empower communities to forge musical futures on their own terms. Panelists include Tony Seeger (Chair), Linda Barwick, James Burns, Patricia Shehan Campbell, John Drummond, Peter Dunbar-Hall, Phil Hayward, Keith Howard, Hakan Lundstrom, Huib Schippers, and others
WHEN: 4pm, Thurs 21 Nov WHERE: Recital Hall, QCGU
ORCHESTRAL FUTURES A perfectly traditional performance of Beethoven’s 6th Symphony is rudely interrupted by an intruder reading out the ‘obituary of the orchestra’. This is followed by a passionate verbal and musical discussion on stage and with the audience on viable orchestral futures. Opening of the ‘Orchestra x 4’ strand (see p. 36), which explores performance and presentation practices for Western orchestral music.
SUSTAINABILITY: WHAT NEXT? Informal final reflections on issues of sustainability for music worldwide as they have been raised during the conference by a panel with broad overview in scholarship, education, community, conflict, archiving and the recording industry.
Featuring the Brisbane Philharmonia with Guy Noble and Matthew Schwarz
Panelist include Anthony Seeger, Svanibor Pettan, Tan Sooi Beng
WHEN: 11am Fri 22 November
WHEN: 9am, Sun 24 November
WHERE: Conservatorium Theatre

MUSICAL MIGRATION Three contrasting examples of musical migration, with a critical perspective from a Vietnamese musicologist. One example will look at the motives behind forming an Estonian folk orchestra, migrating traditions into a new medium, and why particular decisions in the recording process were made in regards to this. Another example will look at Argentine contemporary music and how it is exported to the rest of the world through using indigenous instruments. A third example will look at how chamber musicians from Australia have established exchange programs with ensembles from the rest of the world, to create new innovative activity.
Other sessions related to Sustainability include: Chamber Music as a Sustainable Model (2pm, Sat 23 November, Orchestral Hall)
Panelists include Michael Sollis and Juan Pablo Nicoletti
WHEN: 2pm, Sat 23 November WHERE: Room 2.14

MUSIC AND COMMUNITIES SIGNATURE SESSION This session will bring together some of the world’s leading community musicians and innovators in music education to discuss the changing nature of Community Music, its development as a field, and its growing international impact. We will look at how Community Music ideas and methods sit with 21st century music education and what might future developments might bring.’
While the rhetoric about art for arts’ sake is still strong in some quarters, it is hard to ignore the evidence that music exists and thrives primarily through its connection with people: how communities and individuals engage with music. This engagement takes different forms in ethnic communities; rural areas; the first night crowd at the Met; in tightly knit Balinese villages; and disparate online communities of algorithmic composers. But engagement is the key. In this strand, there are three areas that are highlighted: the nature of community music at large, choral communities, and working with specific communities in Australia and the Pacific. Of specific interest is the exploration of music in post-conflict environments.

Panelists include: Phil Mullen (Ireland), Tan Sooi Beng (Malaysia), Brydie Bartleet (Australia)

MUSIC AND EDUCATION Across cultures and nation-states, learning music takes very diverse forms. Sometimes it is still firmly embedded in daily life in the community, at others it has been formalised in national or regional education systems. Much learning takes place under the guidance of a guru, a professor or a master musician, while in other genres peer learning or exposure to media is the principal driver. This strand explores practices across cultures and age groups, and tries to set an agenda for the future.
SIGNATURE SESSION

MUSIC RIGHTS AND ADVOCACY SIGNATURE SESSION: THE 5 IMC MUSICAL RIGHTS While most nation-states enjoy relatively great freedom in terms of access to music education, musical expression, remuneration, etc, in other places in the world these are still not common. One of the principal concerns of the International Music Council is to advocate for its 5 music rights. This strand and the program documents and expands on rights issues and advocacy.
HOW TO CHANGE MUSIC POLICY Policy makers and music professionals who have already conducted successful advocacy for music policy in their countries or regions will share practical examples and will elaborate on the successes and pitfalls of working in the field of music policy. The aim of the panel is to provide inspirational examples for music advocacy and to start a discussion on how to best reach changes in policy making in favour of a flourishing music life. Panelists include Simone Dudt, Einar Solbu, Stef Coninx, and IMC Youth Rep.
WHEN: 4pm, Thur 21 November WHERE: Room 2.14

In 2001, the International Music Council proclaimed five musical rights which champion the provision of opportunities for all children and adults that will enable them to exercise rights to learn musical languages; to listen to music and understand it; and to perform, create and express themselves through music, in all freedom. Moreover, musical artists should have the right to develop their artistry and communicate through all media, with proper facilities at their disposal, be recognized as artists and obtain just attribution of, and remuneration for, their work. Twelve years later, how do we relate to our musical rights? Acknowledging that IMC and its members do not have the legislative power to enforce them, which scope of action is in our hands? How to address a situation of conflict between two rights, such as the right to access for all and the right to remuneration of creators? How are the IMC musical rights perceived outside the IMC circle? Chaired by the President of the IMC, Frans de Ruiter, the panel will attempt to offer answers to these questions. Panelists include: Frans de Ruiter, Einar Solbu, Richard Letts, Svanibor Pettan
WHEN: 11am, Fri 22 November WHERE: Recital Hall
CREATORS’ RIGHTS Intellectual Property and in particular copyright is a subject that can often polarise. Central to the debate is the balance between creators’ rights and consumer access to copyright content. In various countries there are reviews of copyright laws in the digital economy. The panel brings together a group of creators, academics and industry experts to discuss their perspectives on creators’ rights. Panelists include: Dean Ormston, Michael Smellie, Tony Seeger, Shubha Chaudhuri, Ahti Vänttinen, Paul Hertel, Karl Neuenfeldt
WHEN: 9am, Sat 23 November WHERE: Room 2.15
ADVOCACY FOR MUSIC EDUCATION: IS THE RIGHT LANGUAGE ENOUGH? Representatives of music organisations give insight into successes (or failures) of their advocacy campaigns for music education and share lessons learned from their experiences. Panelists will have a conversation on what makes a campaign successful and which pitfalls should be avoided. The discussion will address the challenge of so-called “abstract” advocacy in comparison to concrete campaigns aiming at changing local or national laws. Advocacy is a question of wording and language - but is this enough as we live in a world of images? Panelists include Simone Dudt, Sylvia Fischer, Richard Letts, Helena Maffli, Ian Harvey
WHEN: 11am, Sat 23 November WHERE: Room 2.15

PARTNER EVENTS MUSIC AND METAMORPHOSIS Joint Conference of the Musicological Society of Australia & the New Zealand Musicological Society Music is integral to our humanity and the multifarious environments in which we live. Like the organic permutations on which our selves and our societies are built, our music and its reception are in a constant state of metamorphosis in response to myriad personal, economic, socio-cultural, and ecological factors. Sometimes slowly and imperceptibly, music and our responses to it are always shifting and changing — as are our attitudes and approaches to musical frameworks and norms, and our attempts to balance tradition and innovation in our musical interests and endeavours.

ECOMUSICOLOGIES
2013: ECOSYSTEMS AND ECOCRITICISM An initiative of the Society for Ethnomusicology Ecomusicology Special Interest Group and the American Musicological Society Ecocriticism Study Group. The conference theme ‘Ecosystems and Ecocriticism’ is intended as a starting point for discussions about music in the context of different kinds of ecosystems and critical contexts, but is not prescriptive: papers discussing any combination of music/sound, culture/society and nature/environment are welcomed. While the term ‘ecosystem’ is borrowed from other fields, it can be understood in the musical context as referring to the natural, social, physical, conceptual and built environments surrounding musicians and their works. Ecocriticism is a term with a longer trajectory in the Arts and Humanities, especially in literary studies, concerning the critical examination of environmental matters in relation to creative artistic works.

POPULAR MUSIC COMMUNITIES, PLACES AND ECOLOGIES 2013 Conference of IASPM, Au/NZ Chapter The theme of the 2013 IASPM-ANZ conference, Popular Music Communities, Places and Ecologies seeks to foster scholarly engagement with the various ways in which music, people and place are connected. While notions of ‘community’ and ‘place’ are well-established constructs in popular music studies, introduce here the notion of ‘ecology’ as a further consideration in the relationship between popular music and place. This term may be understood literally, in reference to the natural or physical environment, or figuratively, as a metaphor for the numerous other possible environments of popular music production and consumption.

GRANT COLLINS Master Drummer Grant Collins pushes the limits and confines of music and has developed, creative and unconventional drumming through new techniques and instrument combinations. Known for using all four limbs to present multitimbral sound scapes, see why Grant Collins has captivated audiences world wide as he performs on his one of a kind custom drum-set which consists of almost 80 pieces.
ADAM CADELL WHICH SIDE ARE YOU ON? Adam Cadell presents a radical vision of new music armed with the brutality and beauty of amplification and digital manipulation hand-inhand with ancient musical traditions. He brings an evening of spectral improvisations for violin, West African gonje, home-made instruments and amplifier which aim to bring the listener to a progressive mental space in direct opposition to the new world disorder. Forget bankrupt tunnels to a traffic-free utopia, this is an overland journey through dirty, gritty, noisy, congested truth. Cadell’s work has been hailed as “Haunting meditations to cacophonous maelstroms without end” (Sonic Masala); “Hot and dizzy, drunk in the sun.” (Josh Watson 4ZZZ); and “A new outlaw culture on the blank pages of society’s future” (The Manifesto of the Radical Violinist).

FOUR TIMES ORCHESTRA The western orchestra, justifiably seen as one of the great examples of the cultural legacy of Europe, has spread throughout the world on the wings of colonialism. But now, in a contemporary, post-colonial context, it would still seem that the orchestra exists as an emblem of refinement, power, and intangible heritage across cultures, especially in Europe, the US and Asia. At the same time, there are signs of trouble: orchestras are large and expensive organisations to run, audiences are ageing, the standard programming and performance format has lost appeal for many potential new audiences. With the help of two WFM5 productions and two independent concerts in the ‘fringe’ of the Forum, WFM5 provides a unique perspective on perhaps the most iconic art music ensemble.
ORCHESTRAL FUTURES A perfectly traditional performance of Beethoven’s 6th Symphony is rudely interrupted by someone reading out the ‘obituary of the orchestra’. The opening of the ‘Orchestra x 4’ strand, which explores performance and presentation practices for Western orchestral music, is followed by a passionate verbal and musical discussion on stage and with the audience on viable orchestral futures. Featuring the Brisbane Philharmonia with Guy Noble and Matthew Schwarz

PHILADELPHUS ENSEMBLE
The Philadelphus Ensemble has been performing together for 18 years in a variety of formations varying from duo to string sextet. Founding members Susanne Jaspers and Eva Smit also play together in a duo called Madrigale. The ensemble has performed not only at the most important chamber music venues in the Netherlands but also in Germany, Belgium, Canada and Brazil. The members of the Philadelphus ensemble find great inspiration working in the more individual and intimate setting that chamber music provides. Many famous composers have written beautiful string quintets: Boccherini, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Bruckner, Brahms, Mendelssohn and Dvorák. Less frequently played than the quartets, The Philadelphus Ensemble particularly enjoys bringing these quintets to the podium. PROGRAM In this program, they will perform Mozart’s String Quintet in C minor, written in 1787; it is a transcription of his earlier Serenade No. 12 for wind octet. Bruckner’s String Quintet was written in 1879 and commissioned by violinist Hellmesberger. It is his only full chamber work.
The Adagio (Andante) from this work is reminiscent of the slow movements of his 9 symphonies. The second quintet of Mendelssohn was written in 1845, only two years before his early death. The work has a stormy first movement and elfin scherzo. In the dramatic slow movement, a funeral march can be heard. In contrast, the finale is jubilant and the full forces of the string quintet are used. Mendelssohn was not satisfied with the last movement and has written two different endings. It was not until four years after his death that the work was published.

DOT ENTER To ensure an opening that is forward looking, innovative and exciting, the 5th World Forum of Music invited Dutch Director Gosse de Kort and his Australian colleague Vanessa Tomlinson to work with 10 young musicians from conservatoires in the Pentacon network, creating an opening event that explores and questions the very act of opening an event. Director Gosse de Kort: “An act of opening implies that there is a form which has to be opened up in order to optimally reveal its inner character. This opening provides the opportunity to enter the form. The act can be seen as a movement through spatial temporal borders. Combined, they provide the opportunity for transitioning from an outside state of being to an inside state of being. Dot Enter explores this act of opening itself: questioning the character of the form to be opened, deconstructing the apparent border, and searching for different points of entry. Moving from one perspective on the act to the other, it seeks to portray coexisting visions on the traditional act of opening.” For this dedicated, one-off, open-air opening performance, the musicians will use the stages, stairs, balconies and terraces of the Parklands entrance of Queensland Conservatorium as their stage. With Lucas Kramer, Robin Coops (Royal Conservatoire, The Hague), Christopher Doyle, Mary Chalk (Schulig School of Music, Montreal), Caiomhe de Paor (Guildhall School of Music and drama, London), Aino Kurki Teri Mantere (Sibelius Academy, Helsinki), Tsoof Baras, Brodie Macallister, Leah Barclay, Lily Hubbard (Queensland Conservatorium Griffith University), Zen Zen Zo, William Barton, and surprise guests. Directed by Gosse de Kort with Vanessa Tomlinson, assisted by Lynn Koek. This production has been made possible through the Pentacon network: five conservatoires and schools of music collaborating for five years on five major themes to respond to contemporary realities in the music profession. With special thanks for additional support to the Royal Conservatoire, The Hague and the Leiden Academy of Performing and Creative Arts.
