The BBC Performing Arts Fund this year is around music. Applications for Fellowships are about to open. Here’s the blurb:

“The Music Fellowships scheme aims to support individuals through the early stages of their music careers; helping them to establish themselves in the professional world through bespoke placements within existing music organisations.

Through this scheme, we hope to increase the Fellows’ skills through training and development opportunities tailored to the individual, to raise their aspirations, and to encourage collaboration.

Rather than awarding grants directly to individuals themselves, we are looking for applications from music companies, organisations, venues and festivals from across the UK to host a Fellow.“

We wrote about it at the launch back in March. Follow this link to the BBC PAF website for a description of how the application process this year works
