We select eight artists for each edition of Making Tracks, whose work is connected to musical traditions and/or the environment. During a two-week rural residency, the artists incubate new collaborative works, explore and develop strategies for intercultural and interspecies music-making, and take time out to develop their craft and career plans with support from a team of industry experts.

Following the residency, the fellows take their new collaborations (and solo performances) on tour, with a series of concerts at beautiful independent venues. We also carry out free workshops alongside our concert programme. The workshops provide young people (especially those facing barriers) with opportunities to take part in the collaborative creation of music. Workshop participants are also given free access to our public concerts.
