Our festival team consists of volunteers with experience working across the creative industries. As a result, we understand the importance of supporting the development of new work and of helping to grow diverse audiences. We are proud to help artists create new work, reach new and wider audiences and to try out new & ambitious ideas. We do this primarily through commissions and tours.
We Are Proud to Support Artists in Producing New Work & Sharing it With the World
WORLD PREMIERES
We are proud to support artists in creating ambitious new work. Each year we commission one or more new pieces such as Andy Eastwood’s SpaceScape (an original composition for ukulele & string quartet).
TOURS
Through our sister organisation (Grand Events) we have supported dozens of artists in building UK tours around their visit to our festival and others.
