WHY IS MUSIC IMPORTANT?
Music is the first form of art created by man: music is present everywhere, as it reflects human culture and its legacy on all continents. Music has always been essential to culture in Europe, and is nowadays the form of art privileged by young generations in order to express their creativity and share their national culture. More than ever, music is the best form of art used to develop intercultural dialogue. Music has also proven to be a preponderant element of social integration for minorities in Europe. The music industry employs over 600 000 people across the European Union and represents a global market of more than 40 billion euro.
