description In the last three decades the theme of cultural mediation has reacquired considerable relevance in political discourse and programmes that highlight the importance of developing educational programmes and attracting the public to the arts and culture. This understanding of mediation is associated with the enduring principle of “cultural democratisation” and also reflects the increasing concerns of cultural agents and institutions regarding sustainability, in a context in which public authorities are tending to withdraw funding. In line with these concerns, Portugal has also seen the development of “education services” and new cultural mediation strategies in many institutions and facilities. This article focuses on the Casa da Música Education Service and analyses the unique features of certain projects it has developed, with the aim of understanding how they incorporate an “experimental” dimension into their relations with different publics and develop new ways of promoting their interest in creative practices in music. It also discusses the trend towards broader changes in cultural mediation strategies in arts organisations.
