The Diaphonique fund supports collaborative projects in classical contemporary music,  between France, the UK and Ireland for the first time this year. Proposals can include commissions, concerts, tours, residencies and educative projects.  Through Diaphonique we aim to :

  • Foster artistic exchanges and deepen the dialogue between musicians and composers from the three countries
  • Promote long-lasting partnerships between French and British musical organisations
  • Foster creativity by supporting commissions
  • Help upcoming artists and composers in their career development

Partners 

Diaphonique is supported by the Sacem, French Institute Trust, Institut français du Royaume-Uni, Institut français, Centre National de la Musique, British Council, Creative Scotland, Culture Ireland and the Fondation Francis and Mica Salabert.

Eligibility

We consider classical contemporary music to be music composed within the last 30 years or in the process of being composed, and repertoire matching one of the following categories:

  • instrumental, vocal, mixed or electro-acoustic contemporary classical music
  • new forms of improvised and electronic music
  • computer-assisted composition and research with multi-media tools.

Diaphonique does not fund individual projects. Artists and composers cannot apply directly. Hosting organisations make the application, artists and composers cannot apply directly.
