The roundtable will bring together local musicians, venue operators, educators, industry professionals, and civic leaders to review eight community outreach initiatives identified in the report and prioritize 2–3 initiatives for short-term advancement. These may include strategies to improve audience engagement, create shared performance and rehearsal spaces, enhance music-friendly policies, and develop mentorship and training programs for young artists.

Participants will also discuss how to align Owensboro’s efforts with the broader Sound Music Cities national cohort, which includes cities across the U.S. working collaboratively to strengthen local music economies.
