Yes, the programme is open to applicants all over the world regardless of location. The programme is also almost entirely done remotely, so as long as you have a steady internet connection, you’ll be able to participate.
Instrumentalists must be aged 18-27 (as of February 14, 2025). Composers must be aged 18-30 (as of February 14, 2025).
The programme is currently open only to individual instrumentalists and composers. However, if you apply as an individual and are accepted, there may be an opportunity to bring your ensemble for the performance element of the programme. During the initial artist discussions, we will work with you to assess how to tailor the programme to support both your individual development and your career path as part of an ensemble.
Please note that while your ensemble can participate in the performance, only the individual applicant will benefit from the full range of coaching and mentorship offered throughout the programme.
