CALL FOR APPLICATIONS 

The Cultural Services of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports and Youth and Rialto Theatre, organize the 8th Cyprus Jazz & World Music Showcase 2021 on 25 - 27 November at Rialto Theatre in Limassol. 

The main mission of the event is to offer a platform of artistic expression to musicians and bands who are active in the broader field of improvisational music by presenting, in two days, a comprehensive and dynamic picture of contemporary Cypriot musical creation to Cypriots as well as to professionals from abroad. At the same time, emphasis will be drawn on developing networks as well as educational actions. 

International festival organisers and professionals from the international music industry will also be invited to this event to meet and acquaint themselves with the Cypriot music scene. The event primarily aims at the future involvement of Cypriot artists in international festivals and overseas organisations, thus creating a platform for exchanging artists' experience and practice on an international level.  As with last year, discussions with music industry experts will be organised, which shall focus on keeping the Cypriot musicians updated on the structures and operational mechanisms of the international music industry. 

To this purpose, all interested bands are invited to send their APPLICATION FORM by Thursday, September 30th 2021. The interested parties can find the application form as well as the terms of participation by clicking here
