The Listening Crowd is a conference presented by the Contemporary Music Centre examining why we listen, who is listening and how audiences are engaging across genres and around the world. The conference is for anyone who is immersed in music: as an audience member, composer/creator, performer, programmer, promoter, broadcaster, and those who connect through music.
