Talks

CEMPE Talks was CEMPE's discussion forum, a dedicated space for exploring current topics in music education and cultural life. Participants included staff and students at higher music education institutions, musicians, artists, researchers and other interested parties. In 2023, CEMPE Talks was renamed NMH Talks in 2023 and lives on at the initiative of the staff.

STUDENT Talks was launched in the spring of 2019 as a discussion forum for students at NMH. The idea was to create a space for conversation, criticism and discussion about becoming (or being?) a performing musician/composer at the school and in society today. An important point was that the forum should only be open to students, and to those who might be invited to initiate the conversation.

The idea was that there are other topics, discussions and not least formulations that will arise in such a closed forum. The forums have mostly been introduced by students, but lecturers and experts from other institutions, organisations and industries have also been brought in. After the introduction, the students have discussed in groups and in plenary and everyone is free to share their thoughts on the topic.
