MOSMA INDUSTRY

 

MOSMA INDUSTRY is aimed for composers, musicians, film directors, press, and specialized professionals. After the creation of music in a solitary room, the composer for the audiovisual medium must apply his work to a movie, a TV series, an advertising spot or a video game. In this phase, we find publicists, orchestra contractors, recording studios, agents and people responsible for music’s copyright. MOSMA INDUSTRY focuses on offering valuable information about this last and important step for the composer.

 

The activities will take place in the Rossini Hall of the Cervantes Theater and access will be free until full capacity is reached.
