Helmet Music Challenge 2020
Since 2015, the Helmet Reading Challenge has inspired people to find something new and interesting to read and to share it with others. In 2018, music lovers were also invited to look for new listening experiences, both independently and with others. The challenge was met with enthusiasm and more than 800 participants immediately joined the Helmet Music Challenge group on Facebook.
It is now time for a new Music Challenge. This year’s list has been compiled by the employees of the Helmet music libraries and the participants of the previous year’s challenge. We present to you 50 new ways to select what to listen to from the abundant world of music.
Here we go again, come along!
What is the Music Challenge?
The year-long Music Challenge encourages you to listen to 50 songs, compositions, releases, albums or compilations that you have never heard before.
For whom?
The Music Challenge is suitable for anyone, and everyone can tackle it in their own way, either by staying safely in their comfort zone or by heading bravely into uncharted territories. You can also complement the Challenge with concerts and gigs. The challenge is an excellent way to update your musical knowledge, gain new experiences, test or broaden your tastes and to simply enjoy music!
How?
Just like in the Reading Challenge, you can listen to new music at your own pace but you can also follow the given order week by week. The library staff will also give weekly listening tips in the Music Challenge group on Facebook. Join the group to share your listening experiences and chat with other Music Challenge participants!
Start diving for musical pearls! Find the pleasure of listening, throw yourself into the world of music, take up the Music Challenge!
