Announcement: Newcomer Stages & Live Support 2023

29. May 2024

Together with Chur concert venues, the city of Chur would like to bring young musicians on stage and give them an insight into the live business. For this purpose, the promotion fund will be advertised again.

Support vessel of the city of Chur
The trigger for the support vessel was the public discussion of the city's target image "cultural spaces" within the framework of the Cultural Strategy 2025. The great lack of performance opportunities for young bands was recognized and as a result, the project "Newcomer Stages & Live Support" was set up as a new support vehicle for young artists. After a successful implementation with three young bands in 2022, the support program will be offered again this year. The implementation will take place in cooperation with Chur concert venues. These include the Cuadro22, the Loucy Eventhall, the Palazzo Beat Club, the Schall & Rauch, the Toms Beer Box and the Kulturbar Werkstatt Chur.

Young bands thus have the opportunity to increase their stage presence and gain visibility. In addition to the various opportunities to perform on a Chur concert stage with professional infrastructure, there is also a fee to be won. Two promotion packages will also be awarded among all applications. These include a workshop with music industry professionals, valuable expert feedback, additional support in organizing and promoting the performance, extensive communication services, and the production of a behind-the-scenes video and footage from the day of the performance.

The call for entries is open to musicians and bands with an average age of 28 who live in Chur or have a close connection to the city. A jury commission will determine the winning bands, coordinate the performance dates and assign them to a suitable stage. Applications must be submitted by June 18, 2023 at the latest.
