A platform for networking and global opportunities

The first global performing arts forum in Asia of this scale, LIVE! will incorporate a conference, trade fair and live performances. The trade fair and live performances will cover the entire spectrum of the performing arts world including acrobatics, circus, dance, folk arts, music, puppetry and pyrotechnics, among others.
To facilitate a highly focused agenda and relevance among its participants, the LIVE! Conference will spotlight a selected genre annually. This year, the inaugural conference program will explore the world of music through three dedicated streams daily focusing on: Orchestral Music and Opera; Musical Theatre; and Jazz and World Music.
Professionals in the field of music can expect a highly stimulating debate and conference program covering topics such as touring, audience development, nurturing talents, marketing as well as rights and royalties.
In the 21st century, we have the power to transform the role that music can play in peoples lives. Much of this transformation will come from Asia, with its vast talent pool and tremendous demand growth for culture and entertainment. Singapore, with its vibrant arts scene and world-class infrastructure, is an excellent venue for performing arts world to meet and explore these exciting new opportunities, said Clive Gillinson, Executive and Artistic Director, Carnegie Hall.
