Networking and music promotion in the cities and rural regions of North Rhine-Westphalia is the task of "create music NRW". The initiative has been sponsored by the Landesmusikrat NRW since 2021. Launched in 2009 as a pilot project in East Westphalia-Lippe, "create music NRW" strengthens the infrastructure for young musicians in the state with workshops and further training, among other things. The promotion of events and performances is also a central task.
