This major new country-wide initiative will provide a grant of between €6,000 and €10,000 to each of the six appointed musicians to facilitate the creation of new work and creative partnerships. Audiences around the country will have opportunities to enjoy the new material created during each of the residencies through live concert performances and online content.
"Music Network is very pleased to be embarking on this new venture with six of our partner venues to create brand new opportunities for professional musicians. RESONATE is our most extensive residency programme to date and will provide musicians with the vital time, space and income needed to develop exciting new work for sharing with audiences in due course" Sharon Rollston, CEO of Music Network
