EinS Academy at Athens Music Week 2024

Following an invitation after last year’s visit to Athens Music Week, we conducted a workshop this year, addressing especially the relationship between the music side and the film/tv sector in Greece and surrounding regions.

Europe in Synch host Markus Linde was joined by experts Orestis Plakias (Cinema Department Director of multi-awarded Greek independent film- and tv-production company Foss Productions), film-music composer Panos Karananos and synch-expert Markos Fragos (Musou Music Group)

Participants included licensing expert Christina Mergoupi of rights society Autodia, Greek publishers, artists and producers and up-coming Romanian HEMI project Synch About It. Together we spent a day full of interdisciplinary insights, lively and occasionally challenging discussions. One of the results was consent that this session should be only the initial event towards a regular dialogue within the music sector with regards to education and professionalisation and stronger structures. A learning we took from many of the past workshops in different countries.

A major conclusion for the local audience was, that the music sector should benefit from continuing interest of film/tv in original Greek music both “classical” and modern. Europe in Synch will continue to be a catalyst in these developments.
