14:15- 15:30 Interview with Artemyi Troitsky (interviewed by Tapio Korjus, Rockadillo)
Artemyi "Artjom" Troitsky is one of the most influential cultural figures in Russia and an internationally known music journalist. In 1986 he took part in organizing the Soviet Union's first charity concert, "Account no 904" for the victims of Chernobyl. After that, he wrote many books on Soviet rock and its history, including Back in the USSR - The True Story of Rock in Russia. In the 1990s, Troitsky was the musical director of Channel 2 of Russia's national television and also worked as a talk-show host and the first editor-in-chief of the Russian Playboy. During the new millennium, these have been compiled into two article collections, which have only been published in Finland. Nowadays Troitsky has his own radio programme. In addition, he gives lectures in universities in Moscow on music journalism and the history of the music industry, he is the founder of Russia's annual music award STEPPENWOLF, has his own concert agency and record company and is an active member of a Russian environmental movement; most recently he is also a political protest movement activist.

14:30 – 15:00 Rethink music investment opportunities – interview with Indrek Tammeaid (VC Zone), interviewed by Hannes Lents (Garage48)
New business models combined with novel financial instruments and solutions bring new perspectives into several societal and business sectors. Music industry and high-technology based innovations share several similarities: the crucial aspect of intangible assets (intellectual property), expected months/years of negative earning, valuation challenges of future income. What could new players in music industry learn from technology developers? How to attract new types of investment, how to build teams and companies with different competences and attributes?

Estonian Music Development Centre presents
15:30 – 17:00 Classical artists from the decision makers' perspective
We all read the headlines about classical artists performing in front of big orchestras, giving solo recitals in famous concert halls or getting record deal proposals from prestigious record labels. But what is the rationale behind these decisions and how does the selection procedure actually work? How come some artists get picked and others don't? Is the success of an artist directly linked to his/her agency? What are the possibilities for artists, who don't work with established agencies? Is it possible to build a strong brand for an artist independently? How should an artist or agency approach the decision makers? These and many other relevant questions are addressed in a highly exclusive discussion panel full of international expertise:
Kristians Drake - Latvijas Koncerti (Latvia)
Andres Siitan - AS Artists (Estonia)
Peter Wilgotsson - Music i Syd (Sweden)
Kadri Tali - Estonian National Symphony Orchestra / Nordic Symphony Orchestra (Estonia)
Anne Charlotte - Nordic Music Days 2012 (Sweden)
Moderator: Leelo Lehtla (The Pille Lill Music Fund)
