Music on Main is thrilled to introduce Emerge on Main, a brand new programme that helps launch the careers of emerging musicians.

This unique programme will provide new performance and mentorship opportunities for emerging classical, new music and genre-bending musicians from across British Columbia.  Starting in 2011, every second year of Emerge on Main will be open to international artists.
 
The “Emerge on Main” artist will have completed his/her basic professional studies and will have yet to establish a significant professional career.

 
The successful “Emerge on Main” artists will receive:

• four performance opportunities - three community concerts and a Main Stage debut at Heritage Hall in Vancouver;
• a $1,000 artist fee;
• career development coaching with Music on Main's Artistic Director David Pay with a follow-up session six months after completion of the programme;
• constructive feedback on performance style from industry leaders;
• a professional archival recording of the Main Stage performance;
• a professional photo session with photographer Chris Mason Stearns resulting in three high res digital images for publicity use;
• accommodation and travel expenses if the successful artist does not reside in the Vancouver area

2010 Deadline | August 6, 2010
