Listen, reflect and display
The concept of Young Music Journalists is to be understood as a workshop program. It is addressed to young people between 14 and 17 years, who want to visit the preparations for a concert or rehearsal as a reporter as well as interviewing the performing artists, announcing a concert or even writing a review afterwards. The young participants learn about necessary journalistic methods within hands-on oriented workshops, e.g. how to work on a research and to be appropriately prepared, they try out journalistic genres such as reportages, interviews, portraits, features and reviews. Julia Kaiser, a professional journalist and experienced media trainer from Berlin, is holding the workshops. The main focus of the workshops is how to work within an “editorial team”, but also supporting personal development of interests and skills of the individual participants. This workshop encourages the young participants to be curious and open minded but at the same time respectful towards music and artists and their skills, which demand passion and enthusiasm as well as organizing abilities and hard work. To discover this is the most important requirement for becoming a good music journalist. It is never too early to try it out.Julia Kaiser is a freelance radio journalist in the field of culture and culture education. As a media trainer she refers her experience in journalism and her fascination in her profession to children, youth and young professionals.

Voyage through the Radialsystem V
29. September 2012 19:30 Radialsytem VThe Nordic Night is an essential element of NORDLICHTER. In 2010 this evening was a great success, and the form of a wandering concert created on one hand side a strong and engaging experience for the audience and on the other hand side made room for presenting an unusual program in an uncomplicated way. In 2012 the idea is to gather ensembles from all the Nordic countries and create a course regardless of genres that not only shows the musical variety of the North but also bring together artists that normally do not perform together in the same concert.

As a result of the intense collaboration amongst the different partners there will be several NORDLICHTER satellites starting to turn in different countries. As a new platform out of the first edition of NORDLICHTER arose a partnership with the Borusan Music House, a marvelous new performance-venue in the heart of Istanbul. In 2012/2013 there will be a new series called >Nordic-sounds-Istanbul< focusing on Nordic Music and artists, with eight concerts over the year. A brilliant opportunity for uprising artists from the north to get in touch with one of the most interesting and vibrating cultural capitals.
