‘Emergent’ (Adjective.) Definition: In the process of coming into being (i.e. for early career artists)
We use the term “early career” in an inclusive way, relating it to experience, not age, and this may be your first commission.
3 emerging Disabled musicians will be commissioned to produce new short pieces of music/sound and will be provided with mentoring, technical support and a showcase opportunity.
