What kind of collaborations does Diaphonique support ?

Diaphonique aims to foster cultural exchanges between France, the UK and also Ireland in the field of classical contemporary music. Your project must show strong partnerships and create links between the three countries by:

  • Encouraging an artistic collaboration between artists and/or composers across the two sides of the Channel.
  • Involving new or existing works composed by British, French or Irish composers. Music programmes including a commission to a French composer, a commission to a British composer and a commission to an Irish composer are particularly welcome.
  • Performing the project in France, in the UK or in Ireland. Projects taking place in all countries are encouraged.
