NEUSTART
Neustart is a broad-based initiative which promotes dialogue and collaboration between the Danish and German music sectors in the wake of easing COVID restrictions. The initiative will involve concert collaborations, residencies, co-writing, matchmaking, knowledge-sharing and more – with Berlin, Hamburg, Copenhagen and Aarhus as the focus areas.
Germany – the world’s fourth largest music market – has long been one of the most important cooperation partners for the Danish music industry. Neustart is seen as a restart of the Danish-German music collaboration – a reboost with a new approach to dialogue and cultural connection, whereby different musical genres, experiences and networks are united in an important cross-border initiative.
All with the aim of finding new ways to collaborate together and highlight differences which can spark inspiration.
The initiative is carried out by Denmark’s four musical genre organisations: Art Music Denmark, JazzDanmark, ROSA, Tempi and MXD – Music Export Denmark, in collaboration with the Danish Embassy in Berlin and with support from the Danish Ministry for Culture and Danish Arts Foundation.
