Thinking out of the box
New job profiles and opportunities in classical music
This webinar offers an exciting and interactive opportunity to explore current developments and new job profiles in classical music. In recent years, new doors have opened alongside traditional professions such as orchestral musician, conductor and soloist.
In this webinar, we will explore these new job profiles and discuss career paths. The focus will be on individual questions that (not only) musicians in training (should) ask themselves:
- What professional image do I have of myself?
- Where do I want to develop as an artist?
- Who or what can support me in recognizing and overcoming the opportunities and obstacles on this path?
Objectives
- To show new paths and possibilities
- Turning a passion for classical music into innovative, future-oriented careers
- Consciously shaping individual career paths
- Promote successful career planning
