5 mars 2019 - Senast uppdaterad 7 maj 2020

Women in the creative arts have a direct and lasting impact on culture and society and now Discovery Networks Sweden joins Spotify in the effort to elevate these women. The Nine Muses Festival is an annual one-day event creating an inspirational exchange for these women, held for the first time on the International Women’s day, 8th March at Münchenbryggeriet in Stockholm.
Filled with inspiring speakers, workshop and networking opportunities, the festival is ideal if you want to learn, share and build community with other women within creative arts in a safe and empowering space.
Among the speakers you find Dr. Fern Riddell, historian and columnist at the BBC History Magazine, Dr. Ahmad Sarmast, Founder and Director of Afghanistan National Institute of Music (ANIM), Rebecca Broni, HR Business Partner at Discovery Network Sweden and Gry Forsell, TV and radio host.
- Lifting and inspiring creative women around the world lies in Discovery’s genes. Through Nine Muses Festival together with Spotify, we are thrilled to take part in creating a new forum for women to share their passion and brilliance, says Henriette Zeuchner, CEO Discovery Networks Sweden.
After the event at Münchenbryggeriet Zohra, Afghanistan´s first all-female orchestra, will perform a concert at Berwaldhallen. Zohra consists of female musicians between the ages of the 12 and 19 and was founded by Dr. Ahmad Sarmast at the Afghanistan National Institute of Music. In 2018 Dr. Ahmad Sarmast and the ANIM won the Polar Music Prize together with rock band Metallica.
- The trailblazers in these industries should support each other, learn from each other and build networks that can further their careers, together. The Nine Muses festival was founded to create a forum. We urge the attendees to come, listen and use the opportunity to build and drive their own community forward, commented Katarina Berg, CHRO Spotify.
