Vienna - the new capital of film music?

Vienna is about to become an important location for film music.  The FIMU Symposium is happy to have contributed to setting new impulses.
Over the last few years film music orchestras were established, which are now available for national and international sound track recordings for film and media. Furthermore, The Vienna Symphonic Library has begun to expand the recording stage at Vienna's Rosenhügel as an international production facility for film music recordings.
These developments will be presented at the symposium and discussed by Austrian and international experts from the film and music industry.
