World of Song is a two-year programme sharing the musical heritages of people who have recently migrated to the UK and supports musicians from different age groups and musical backgrounds.
Spotlight is a professional development programme for ensembles, bands or soloists who perform music inspired by their cultural heritage. We are interested in hearing from musicians performing in a range of genres including traditional, classical, popular or fusion.
We have three complete support packages available for selected solo musicians and bands. We will offer 20 places on the masterclasses to musicians and producers who are unsuccessful in their applications to the main programme.
This project is led by Band on the Wall and Community Arts North West.
