Paneldiscussion ‘Towards fair pay in music practice’

Location: Clubroom, Verkadefabriek ‘s-Hertogenbosch

Date: November 9

Time: 12:30 – 1:30 p.m.

Language: Dutch

With: Pieter Hunfeld (researcher Knyfe, musician), Noud van de Rhee (chairman Chain Table, program manager), Sonja Heimann (director World Music Forum), Susanne Alt (BIMpro)

The fairPACCT chain table Jazz/World/Impro together with agency Knyfe present their plans for fair pay rates in the sub-sector. A comparison will be made with progress at the previously launched chain tables Pop Musicians and Freelance Classical Musicians.

The chain table is composed of various sections. It involves composers and (composing) musicians. It also includes programming venues and festivals. Some (online) broadcasters are also connected as well as representatives of intermediaries, rights organizations, professional education and the jazz archive.

Members unanimously noted that there is limited and even less and less attention to the jazz/world/impro genres by responsible governments, funds, broadcasters and institutions. They feel that there must at least be improvement in this, as it is highly determinant of the earning potential of working people.
