Gretchen Amussen believes that European conservatoires are key actors in creating the music profession and that there is a need for these conservatoires to become innovatoires which help invent tomorrow’s profession, while also preserving the inheritance of the great traditions that are theirs. She shared her experience on preparing society and the education system for new paradigms concerning artists integration, tradition, creation, pedagogy, audience trends and a globalised market, and spoke of a need for the acquisition of new competencies and a large capacity to adapt.

Hisham Sharaf gave a response to the discussion.
