Residency
Making Tracks
Making Tracks is an international music exchange programme based around the themes of musical traditions and the natural world. The residency will run in September where the artist will receive professional development, incubate new work and develop craft and career plans. This will be followed by a short tour and series of workshops in late September to early October. Making Tracks is open to collaboratively minded, emerging music professionals from anywhere in the world.
