Two days for innovation

For the eleventh time, the Swiss Association of Music Schools is hosting the "Forum Musikalische Bildung" in centrally located Baden. This edition will focus on the future of work and artificial intelligence. Raphael Gielgen, trend scout at the design furniture brand Vitra, will report on the findings on the future of work from his visits to around 100 offices and companies each year. "Both the conservative and the rebellious have their strengths," he says, for example, "Ideally, you combine the two." Barbara Josef from the company "5-9" focuses on the further development of organizations. 

Dr. Richard-Emmanuel Eastes and Prof. Dr. Gilbert Nouno will demonstrate concrete applications of artificial intelligence for music schools. "These are topics that will open many windows - I'm looking forward to it," says Philippe Müller, Director of the "Cercle Lémanique d'Etudes Musicales" and VMS Board member.

Innovative projects from music schools

The VMS Good Practice competition shows just how lively and creative the work at music schools already is. A jury selected ten final projects from numerous submissions, all of which will be presented at the forum - several of which will be able to take home a prize.

50 years of VMS

Musical entertainment will be provided by performances by prizewinners from all categories of the Swiss Youth Music Competition. A radio bus will also be present - a group of young people from the Baden cantonal school will create live radio broadcasts and conduct street interviews with passers-by on the topic of "music schools". This will also mark the start of the association's 50th anniversary celebrations, which will culminate on November 19, 2025 at the Hotel National Bern.
