New Music Seminar, the annual industry event held in New York City, is launching their “Symphony of Ideas” series this year at MIDEM on January 26.

Tom Silverman, Co-founder and Executive Director of NMS will lead, “Building the 100 Billion Dollar Music Business.” This will lead up to the New Music Seminar’s ‘Symphony of Ideas’ coming to New York City, June 9th-11th.

The record business is transitioning to an entirely new business. MIDEM has been THE meeting place of the world record business practically since the beginning. It is perfectly appropriate that this year, the New Music Seminar brings a Movement to MIDEM that explores the new paradigm that will lift this “new” music business back to sustainable growth and abundance. The New Music Seminar has been acting as a catalyst for change in the music industry since 1980. We believe the $100 billion music business is possible and I am excited to convene these visionaries at MIDEM to make it a reality. -  Tom Silverman
