Music makers' hour: Can a music maker take a stand? (In cooperation with the Finnish Music Creators' Association)
Can a song change the world - or even a mind? Or should a music maker take a stand on social phenomena, human pain points or current debates? Is taking a stand a trend, a duty or a risk?
In this debate, we look at the power and responsibility of music: what issues do songwriters take a stand on and how? Why do some artists choose to remain silent while others raise difficult issues?
The panel will bring together a long-time lyricist and now also a musician Saara Törmä, musician and music writer Rosa Jules from Lala Salama fame, and Samae Koskinen, musician, music writer and artist. The discussion will be moderated by singer-songwriter Jojo "Johanna" von Hertzen, who is also coordinator of the Finnish Music Creators’ Association.
The discussion is organised by the Finnish Music Creators’ Association.
