Cheltenham Festivals: Talent Development Fund 2018
Cheltenham Festivals are dedicated to promoting excellence in, and enjoyment of, the arts and sciences. We create a multitude of vibrant cultural experiences across science, the arts and education every year. Engaging people locally, nationally and internationally.
Through the Talent Development Partnership with PRSF, our Jazz Festival will feature new music from music creators in jazz and related genres at a range of career levels, offering them mentoring and guidance, and developing new thinking in jazz and sound art through our Musical Encounters strand.
Musicians and composers from a range of career levels feature within our Music Festival – from emerging voices in our Composer Academy to highly established figures. Conventional contemporary classical music forms the bedrock of the Festival but other styles such as electronica, gaming music and improvisation-based music also feature in our innovative programmes.
