Podcast "Living the dream of touring"

The students of the seminar "Working as musicians in the world - snap-shots" produced the podcast "Living the dream of touring" under the direction of Glaucia Peres da Silva in SoSe 21. They dealt extensively with the careers of international musicians from different countries, discussed various strategies musicians use to build their careers. They also identified biographical milestones that particularly shaped musicians' global mobility. Building on this, the focus of the podcast was on the importance of touring for musicians. Using a guideline developed in the course, students interviewed internationally active musicians from various countries. The production of the podcast was supported by the Center for Media Competence.
