DUBLIN: ARTE and RT\u00c9 are each planning to contribute a minimum of \u20ac250,000\u00a0per year for an initial two-year term\u00a0toward the development of co-productions in 2017 and 2018, focusing on the areas of arts, culture, factual, history and natural history.<\/p>\n
Over\u00a0the next two years, audiences across Europe will be able to access participating Irish music events and performances via ART\u00c9\u2019s online platforms. Meanwhile, audiences in Ireland will be able to access an online catalog of European arts, cultural and historical programming through RT\u00c9 Player\u2019s new arts and documentary hubs. RT\u00c9 will share selected music broadcasts, performances and documentary content, as well as selected concerts from the likes of the RT\u00c9 National Symphony Orchestra and RT\u00c9 Concert Orchestra on ARTE\u2019s digital platforms.<\/p>\n
Anne Durupty, the VP of ARTE GEIE and CEO of ARTE France, said:\u00a0\u201cThis agreement will enable ARTE and RT\u00c9 to work on several top-quality co-productions per year, helping to enrich their cultural output. With this partnership we\u2019re continuing to enhance ARTE\u2019s profile and visibility in Europe, one of the essential missions given to the channel by its founding treaty. Our objective, in the months and years ahead, is to showcase, via our digital offerings, the richness and diversity of\u00a0European creativity to audiences across the continent of Europe.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dee Forbes, the director-general of RT\u00c9, commented: \u201cThis is an important partnership. With this agreement we will enable more Irish programs and performances to reach new European audiences. As Ireland\u2019s national media organization, showcasing the best of Ireland, particularly in the area of arts and culture, is something that RT\u00c9 takes very seriously. The online offering is also exciting, with RT\u00c9 offering for the first time selected arts programming, documentaries and music broadcasts to European audiences through Art\u00e9 Concert and Art\u00e9 in English, while audiences in Ireland can avail of a carefully curated selection of fascinating, compelling and current arts and cultural content from Art\u00e9 on RT\u00c9 Player. We look forward to encouraging audiences everywhere to explore this fantastic resource.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
