BERLIN, GERMANY (Top40 Charts/ IFPI) IFPI, the organisation representing the recording industry worldwide, celebrates the 25th Anniversary of Friends of Music concerts in the European Parliament. British singer-songwriter Joss Stone and Romanian soprano Angela Gheorghiu will be performing live at the event.

Over the last 25 years, Friends of Music has showcased some of the greatest talents in the recording industry and celebrated the value that music brings to Europe.

The event welcomes guests from the European Parliament, European Commission and Permanent Representations.

In doing so, they join a long list of illustrious artists who have taken part in this event over the years. Music is one of the areas in which Europe excels on the global stage, and Europe's performers contribute not only to its vast cultural heritage and diversity, but to its economic potential."

Previous guests and performers at the event, amongst many, include Sir Yehudi Menuhin, Beatles producer George Martin, Dame Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, Björn Ulvaeus of ABBA, Imelda May, Jamie Cullum, Andrea Bocelli, Madeleine Peyroux, Toots Thielemans and The Corrs.

Guest of Honour, European Commissioner for Education, Culture, Multilingualism and Youth, Androulla Vassiliou said: "Friends of Music is a wonderful celebration of the success and variety of Europe's music and culture, which we must continue to value and nurture. Europe's artists are among our greatest assets, and we must ensure that their art can be seen and heard around the world and that their talent is properly acknowledged and remunerated."
