Presenting at international trade fairs
The presentation of an Israeli pavilion at the largest and most important trade fairs in the world
began thanks to the independent initiative of Music Port’s musicians.
With the support of the Dalia and Eli Hurvitz Foundation, Sagol family, the Mifal HaPais Council
for the Culture and Arts and other philanthropists, the musicians have managed to produce their
presentation at international fairs.
Having presentation at international trade fairs is crucially important.
Trade fairs and expo events are attended by festival directors, program managers, booking agents, artistic directors,
media professionals, bloggers, music journalists, representatives of municipalities and governmental cultural export
organizations, musicians and music lovers from all over the world.
At expo events connections are built, concerts and tours and booked and a network for international
activities is created. Most countries in the world proudly set up a pavilion for their musicians.
During nine years of activity an Israeli pavilion was part of the international exposure scene. Israeli music was presented at:
Jazzahead – world’s most important Jazz trade fair
Womex – in Spain, Finland, Hungary, Poland, Portugal
Arts Midwest – USA
Babel Med – France
Fira Mediterranean – Spain
Mundial Montreal – Canada
