The international music industry conference Midem in Cannes has been definitely brought to an end, its organizer RX France has announced. Midem, where Pizzicato was a participant during several years and where first the Cannes Classical Awards, then the Midem Classical Awards took place, started to dip in the early 2010s, shortly after the organizer had cancelled the MIDEM Classical Awards which then were turned into the independent International Classical Music Awards, ICMA. Pizzicato has been a jury member in all those years under the three appellations.
In a statement, RX France says: “For 55 years, RX France – formerly Reed Midem – has had the immense pleasure and privilege of organising the Midem event in Cannes, and more recently in developing dedicated music events under the Midem brand in Africa and Latin America, as well as offering the Midem Digital experience for the last two years”.
