Performance Opportunities
Music Network offers a range of performance opportunities to both Irish and international artists, via the following programmes and schemes.
Music Network Touring Programme
As determined by our Arts Council brief, Music Network curates tours in the classical, jazz/world and traditional Irish music genres only. Irish and Ireland based artists representing other musical genres should instead consider applying to the Performance and Touring Award for concert and touring opportunities.
Participation in the Music Network Touring Programme is by invitation only.
Please note - currently the Music Network touring schedule is full throughout the next 3 - 4 seasons so there are no tour slots available, in any genre, for 18 - 24 months. Should you wish to be considered for a Music Network tour beyond that time you should send an information pack including biographies, reviews, sound/video recordings, photographs, fee expectation, and some imaginative programmes/performance ideas to The Performance Programmes Manager, Music Network, Coach House, Dublin Castle, Dublin 2, Ireland, or email here.
To review the artists that have toured with Music Network since October 2000 please visit the Music Network Concerts Archive.
Music Network Artist Roster
Music Network offers stand-alone concert opportunities throughout the Republic of Ireland to artists via its roster of classical, jazz and Irish traditional musicians. These are the only genres the roster is open to, and artists must also be Irish and/or permanently based in Ireland.
Participation in the Music Network Artist Roster is by invitation only.
Should you wish to be considered, send an information pack including biographies, reviews, sound/video recordings, photographs, fee expectation, and some imaginative programmes/performance ideas to The Performance Programmes Manager, Music Network, Coach House, Dublin Castle, Dublin 2, Ireland, or email here.
Music Network also assists rostered artists in securing funding for international performance opportunities where possible.
Young Musicwide Award
Music Network offers performance opportunities specifically for young, emerging artists through the Young Musicwide Award, a unique professional development scheme, open to classical, jazz and Irish traditional musicians. Find out more…
