Kicking off MEGAPHONO Music Festival and Conference at Lixar's House of Data
OTTAWA, Feb. 6, 2019 /CNW/ - The MEGAPHONO music festival and conference is set to begin its fifth edition on Thursday February 7th, giving Ottawa/Gatineau-area musicians a chance to share their voice with music industry delegates from across the globe. As a longstanding sponsor and partner of MEGAPHONO, Lixar is excited to announce several initiatives around the festival, taking a community-minded approach to the Ottawa music scene.
Lixar will kick-off Megaphono at Lixar's House of Data with an industry think-tank session which will bring together musicians, music industry delegates, data scientists, and other tech experts to discuss digital transformation, Data and AI in today's world. The goal of the event will be to discuss the current state of music in the digital age. It will also feature the debut of "Lixar Unplugged", a series of concerts that will support creativity on the Lixar Stage and benefit the Kids help Phone.
"MEGAPHONO is more than just a sponsorship to us. It's a chance for us to insert some of our expertise into the narrative of the music industry while also giving our staff a chance to discover and enjoy great local and Canadian music talent." - Bill Syrros, CEO Lixar.
On Wednesday, February 6 at the Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa, Lixar will be celebrating music with performances by City Fidelia and Kimberly Sunstrum. The concert is exclusively for the boys and girls at the McGahan clubhouse, which provides a barrier-free environment for kids to connect in a safe, supportive space.
