Emerging artists: Next Steps
What
Programmes for emerging artists by established organisations (ensembles, collectives, event organisers) aimed at emerging musicians with great artistic potential.
The projects enable emerging artists to gain experience through collaborations with established professional structures and to strengthen their presence within the professional environment at a national and international level.
