4th Cyprus Jazz & World Music Showcase 2017

CALL FOR APPLICATIONS

The Cultural Services of the Ministry of Education and Culture, the Cyprus Music Information Center and Rialto Theatre organize the 4th Cyprus Jazz & World Music Showcase 2017 on 24 & 25 November at Rialto Theatre in Limassol.

The main mission of the event is to offer a platform of artistic expression to musicians and bands who are active in the broader field of improvisational music by presenting, in two days, a comprehensive and dynamic picture of contemporary Cypriot musical creation to Cypriots as well as to professionals from abroad.

International festival organisers and professionals from the international music industry will be invited to this event to meet and acquaint themselves with the Cypriot music scene. The event primarily aims at the future involvement of Cypriot artists in international festivals and overseas organisations, thus creating a platform for exchanging artists' experience and practice on an international level. As with last year, discussions with music industry experts will be organised, which shall focus on keeping the Cypriot musicians updated on the structures and operational mechanisms of the international music industry but also the development of the educational part of the Showcase in cooperation with the music schools.

To this purpose, all interested bands are invited to send their APPLICATION FORM by 22 September 2017 to the email address ntiac@rialto.com.cy.

The interested parties can find the application form as well as the terms of participation on the Cultural Services website (enimerosi.moec.gov.cy/e/apy).
