We are still carrying the positive energy of the European Forum on Music 2026 in Timișoara, where so many meaningful exchanges took place around music, health and wellbeing. ✨

Among them was the interactive workshop “The Health of Musicians and Professionals in the Music Sector”, led by Angelica Postu, which invited participants to reflect on a vital question: while musicians and music professionals create spaces for emotional expression, connection and wellbeing for others, how can they also nurture their own emotional and physical health?

Through discussion, shared experiences and collective reflection, the workshop explored resilience, self-care, personal values, creativity and the everyday practices that help sustain motivation and wellbeing in the often demanding realities of the music sector.

The word cloud created after the session beautifully captures some of the thoughts, wishes and needs that emerged: well-being, balance, connection, nature, creativity, rest, freedom, silence, courage, and many more. 🌿

A warm thank you to Angelica Postu for guiding this inspiring and much-needed conversation.

What an unforgettable European Forum on Music in Timișoara! 🎶✨

From 9 to 12 June 2026, we gathered for the 14th edition of the EFM, dedicated to Music, Health and Wellbeing.

It was a Forum full of inspiring conversations, powerful reflections, shared practices and beautiful musical moments. Together, we explored how music can support healing, care, resilience, connection and belonging, in public policy, in communities, in crisis contexts, across all stages of life and within the music sector itself.

One of the key messages of this edition was clear: access to music and cultural experiences should not be a privilege, but a natural part of everyday life. At the same time, we reflected on the importance of recognising artistic work as skilled and professional labour, and on the need to care for the wellbeing of artists and music professionals.

A huge thank you to all participants, speakers, artists, partners and friends who made these days so meaningful, warm and energising. 💙

The EFM 2026 was organised by the European Music Council, in partnership with Asociația Scena Muzicală and the Center for Projects of the Municipality of Timișoara, and took place at Cinema Studio Timișoara.

The European Music Council is among 26 organisations from across the European music sector that have published a joint letter welcoming the European Parliament’s draft report on AgoraEU by MEP Emma Rafowicz and MEP Alice Kuhnke.

The addition of the Culture – Music strand within AgoraEU recognises the economic, cultural and social weight of the music sector. This includes strengthening the sustainability, competitiveness and independence of the music sector as well as supporting collaboration of artistic, educational and social music practices.

We call on EU institutions to ensure that the future music strand has the funding, sector dialogue and practical tools needed to support the entire music sector in the long term.
