"Our skills programme and the Music Business Careers portal are a practical response to the existing challenges in the music sector," said Timo Wiesmann, Director of Hamburg Music. A study on Hamburg as a centre of music conducted by the association revealed that the music industry is one of the main pillars of Hamburg's cultural agenda and economy. The new measures should guarantee the supply of skilled people and the new website will play a key role therein. It will provide information on different professional openings and paths into a career in music throughout German-speaking Europe.
