But for other genres, this practice is still very much in its infancy. At the same time, it remains essential \u2013 even for experienced musicians and creators \u2013 to tailor their work to an audience that is constantly changing, growing and evolving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/register.kunsten.be\/nl\/ontmoetingen-programmas\/detail\/220\/sectordag-over-muziek-voor-jong-publiek\/about\">More info<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/register.kunsten.be\/en\/meeting-programmes\/detail\/220\/industry-event-for-classical-music-for-young-audiences\/register\/login\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Register here<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Programme<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">details <a href=\"https:\/\/register.kunsten.be\/en\/meeting-programmes\/detail\/220\/industry-event-for-classical-music-for-young-audiences\/schedule\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">12:00 am: Lunch<br>01:00 pm: Keynote by Brian Irvine (EN)<br>01:30 pm: Working sessions (EN+NL)<br>03:00 pm: Break<br>03:30 pm: Working sessions (EN+NL)<br>05:00 pm: Networking moment<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Language<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Dutch and in English<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">EXTRA workshop by Brian Irvine at 11:00 am (EN)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to the sector day programme, we are organising an extra workshop in the morning from 11:00  am to 12:00 am. In a smaller setting, we will explore methods Brian Irvine uses for collective composition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brian Irvine (Belfast, 1965) is a composer and conductor whose music is a distinctive blend of contemporary classical music, jazz, punk, improvisation and theatrical elements. His extensive body of work includes operas, large-scale oratorios, orchestral works, chamber music, film scores and installations, performed by renowned ensembles such as the London Symphony Orchestra, Welsh National Opera and the RT\u00c9 National Symphony Orchestra. He was Associate Composer with the Ulster Orchestra and, in 2016, became the first ever Music Laureate of the City of Belfast. Irvine has won two British Composer Awards, the BBC Radio 3 Jazz Award and a Paul Hamlyn Composers Award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The workshop lasts one hour (at 11:00 am) and will be in English. You can register via the registration form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Partners<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ha-concerts, Muziekcentrum De Bijloke, Zonzo Compagnie &amp; Musica<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>02.06.2026 | 12:00 am \u2013 05:30 pmHA Concerts &#8211; Ghent (BE) Do you work for an organisation that produces music for young audiences?
