Sound Festival: Talent Development Partner 2018

As one of Scotland’s principal new music promoters, we have a responsibility to support UK and Scottish creators – nurturing their talent and facilitating opportunities to have their music heard nationally and internationally.
Our soundcreators programme offers a number of development opportunities, supporting those creating cutting-edge new music from across the “new” music spectrum (classical, opera, electroacoustic, folk, jazz…) in the UK. It includes emerging, mid-career and established composers as well as creative performers who work closely with composers and/or are creative through improvisation.

As Talent Development Partners, in 2018-2019 we will work with over 50 creators.
There are seven strands to our soundcreators project:

  • A composer-in-residence scheme offering a tailor-made programme of activities.
  • Commissioning of new works.
  • Mentoring commissioning for emerging and mid-career composers with extra help and support where needed.
  • Skills development for composers through workshops and individual support.
  • Supporting creative performers to work more closely with composers and develop their own creativity.
  • Researching the professional barriers to creators with Additional support Needs & developing a support programme.
  • Providing national/international opportunities for creators where possible.
