“The EMC acknowledges the significant role that music and culture play in the political and societal development of a peaceful and integrative Europe. It advocates on local, national and European levels for an appropriate framework, respecting equal rights and opportunities for music professionals and access to music. It contributes to a better mutual understanding amongst people and promotes the right for their musical cultures to coexist. It provides exceptional value to its members through the analysis of policy developments and formulation of policy statements; capacity building and knowledge exchange, creating networking opportunities within and beyond the music sector on an international platform.”
