Read the fourth interview Katalin György-Dóczy cultural manager, head of Pro Progressione Sound Pillar.
Who are you?
I am the Cultural Manager of Pro Progressione in Budapest, Hungary, and the head of its Sound Pillar. Additionally, I serve as the Festival Director of the Transparent Sound New Music Festival. With nearly a decade of experience in the cultural sector, I have been involved in supporting and bringing to life music projects.
What’s the organization’s role in the project?
Pro Progressione supported the development of a concept and the implementation of the Kid Beats device and facilitated cooperations between partners. We support the research and creation process with project management to achieve a tool that meets children’s developmental needs. Pro Progressione collaborates with various partners to ensure that the device is engaging and educational, aligning with their mission to foster interdisciplinary creation and cultural engagement .
Why did your organization decide to join the project?
Many members of our organization have pre-school children and noticed a gap in music production solutions for kids. Musicians are not reaching preschoolers with quality music content and there was no suitable medium to replace black screens. This inspired us to join the Kid Beats project.
How do you see the future of the project?
We hope to take the project forward by developing a sustainable business model that supports musicians and by further enhancing the KidBeats device with additional interactive features. This will provide a tangible musical experience for children.
