Professional and non-professional musicians are invited to apply for funding from the Music Capital Scheme to finance instrument and equipment purchase. This year a record €1,939,700 funding is available for the scheme which is supported by the Department of Culture, Communications & Sport – a substantial 78% increase on previous year.
€1,040,000 is available across three different awards for non-professional performing groups, individual established performing musicians and individual emerging performing musicians.
Applicant support will be available up until the deadline, especially for first timers or those who have been rejected in the past.
The first category (non-professional performing groups) includes not just groups but also schools, community and youth organisations and venues overseeing non-professional performance.
Applicants are open until 2pm on Thursday November 27th, with further information now available on musicnetwork.ie.
Good luck!
