Pro Helvetia once again prioritizes jazz
With its "Priority Jazz Funding" (PJF), the Arts Council Pro Helvetia wants to make it easier for Swiss bands to plan international tours and reduce the administrative burden on both sides. It is now inviting applications again.
According to the call for applications, the PJF is open to ensembles that are at the beginning of an international career and have an excellent track record, i.e. bands that have already made a name for themselves on the Swiss scene and whose aim is to sustainably develop and strengthen their international presence.
Applicants must be established in the current jazz scene and perform regularly in the various language regions of Switzerland. They must have a repertoire of original compositions and have already completed at least two successful international tours. They must have a detailed career plan, be professionally managed and have international distribution for their recordings.
The Swiss Arts Council only accepts applications for "Priority Jazz Funding" online. The deadline for applications is September 1, 2015.
