This year’s edition of the European Forum on Music (EFM): Looking Back – Looking Forward. The Future of Europe’s Musical Roots takes place from Thursday, 7 June until Saturday, 9 June 2018 in Oslo, Norway in Sentralen. The EFM, annual conference of the European Music Council (EMC), will be hosted by the Norsk musikkråd and supported by NAMM, is part of the European Year of Cultural Heritage 2018 #EYCH2018. With this edition of the EFM, we would like to look at the importance and the value of musical heritage for our future European society. Music and intangible heritage in general are confronted with a variety of challenges: from participation and access to music to environmental threats. What is needed today to make sure that we can still enjoy Europe’s musical roots in the future?
