Join Jonny Dovercourt, co-author of Reimagining Music Venues and director of Wavelength Music, for a timely conversation on the future of live music spaces.

Music venues are critical cultural infrastructure. They support artists, connect communities, and shape the identity of our cities. Yet they face increasing pressure from rising costs, development, and shifting policy landscapes.

Moderated by Tracey Guptill, this discussion explores why venues matter, what’s at risk, and how we can better support and advocate for these essential spaces. For artists, presenters, and anyone invested in the future of live music. Free to attend. Registration required.
