Bridging Musical Communities

Unveiling New Data on Musicians' Mobility in the Øresund Region

På svenska

Wednesday, April 23rd 10.00 - 15.00
The Swedish Residency, Sankt Annæ Plads 15, Copenhagen

A cluster of dots in different colours, with lines going between them.

Join us for a data presentation and collaborative workshop to explore: 

How can we create more sustainable and interconnected musical communities across the Øresund region?

With cultural funding priorities changing rapidly, new approaches are needed to understand and support musical communities locally and across the Nordic region. In this final event of the Tourbus pilot project, we present how new data analysis methods can reveal cross-border musical communities and mobility patterns between Denmark and Sweden.

This collaborative event brings together key stakeholders from both sides of the Oresund to implement these insights by fostering dialogue between practitioners, researchers, and decision-makers.

About the Tourbus Pilot

Developed by musicologist Brandon Farnsworth (Lund University), Tourbus uses new AI methods to analyze performance data from publicly available sources, revealing professional networks, geographical patterns, and cross-border connections invisible to conventional approaches. In the pilot with Art Music Denmark, we have applied this method to understanding mobility across the Oresund region.

This event is a collaboration between the Centre for Oresund Region Studies and Art Music Denmark. It is hosted by the Swedish Embassy in Copenhagen.
