The future of the artist in the digital age

Digital transformation has created new scenarios in the world of music and performing arts, opening up opportunities for art monetization, distance learning, and the protection of creators' rights. EmpleARTE 2025: Technology at the Service of the Artist is presented as an initiative that seeks to provide key tools for artists to adapt to the new digital ecosystem.

The event will feature experts in innovation applied to music and performing arts, who will analyze essential topics such as digital monetization, rights protection, and the impact of digitalization on artistic education.

A programme designed for the professionalization of musicians and performing artists

The event will be structured around three main themes that will address the most relevant aspects of the intersection between art and technology:

Pedro Fernández (Sympathy for the Lawyer) will analyze the legal framework of music on digital platforms and strategies for rights protection. Meanwhile, Fran Parrado (Reina Sofía School - Fortissimo Media) will present tools to enhance artists' visibility in the digital environment. The first segment will conclude with Pablo Romé (Momento Guitarra), who will share his experience in online instrumental teaching and how it has revolutionized access to music education and the monetization of educational services.
