The programme opened with the panel How Can Young Artists Succeed Abroad?, offering practical insights into navigating foreign markets, understanding cultural differences, building meaningful contacts, and developing long-term strategies for growing a career beyond the Czech Republic.
A highlight of the festival was the K-Pop Connection Listening Session, which premiered new tracks created at the Czech–Korean songwriting camp supported by SoundCzech. Visitors experienced the results of collaboration between Czech, European, and Korean songwriters and gained insight into their creative process and cross-continental teamwork.
The final session, (Song)writing the Future, explored the changing definition of a “hit,” the transformation of creative methods, and how songwriters adapt to the speed and demands of today’s digital music culture.
The last two sessions were created in collaboration with our partners: LiveMX, Music Finland, Song Asia and SongwritingCZ.
We thank all participants, partners, and creators who help us connect Czech music with the world.
