Ausschreibung: Newcomer Stages & Live Support 2025

5. March 2025

Together with concert venues in Chur, the city of Chur and the Graubünden Music Association would like to bring young musicians to the stage and give them an insight into the live business. The sponsorship fund will be advertised again for this purpose. The application deadline is April 05, 2025.

Funding vehicle of the city of Chur, in collaboration with Graubünden Music
The funding vehicle was triggered by the public discussion of the city's "cultural spaces" objective as part of the 2025 cultural strategy. The major lack of performance opportunities for young bands was recognized and the "Newcomer Stages & Live Support" project was set up as a new funding vehicle for young creative artists. The project is carried out in cooperation with the Graubünden Music Association and the concert venues in Chur.

Participation pays off
Young bands 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, they also receive a fee. The support package also includes a workshop with music industry professionals, valuable expert feedback, additional support with the organization and promotion of the performance, extensive communication services as well as the production of a behind-the-scenes video and images from the day of the performance.

Application form
The competition is aimed at musicians and bands with an average age of no more than 29 years who live in Chur or have a close connection to the city. A jury will select the winning bands, coordinate the performance dates and assign them to a suitable stage. Applications must be submitted by April 5, 2025 at the latest.
