We are delighted to announce that The City of Edinburgh Council is curating the second season of 'Music Encounters in the Parks' this summer spring (July and August 2024). The programme is to be hosted by local parks across Edinburgh.  

We are looking for small vocal and instrumental groups and ensembles whose music would complement the residents' and visitors' experience of our green spaces. Whether you are a classical music trio or quartet, a hip-hop or contemporary act, or a world-music/trad group, we want to hear from you! We offer fees of £192 per musician/ vocalist who are based in Edinburgh and only require a basic PA to support their 30-45 minute performance. All acts will be assisted with professional technical support on the day. All acts are welcome to offer their merchandise to the event attendees. 

The programme will be launched in July 2024 and advertised across the Council's and industry channels. 

If you wish to be considered, please complete the form below. The information about your act will be shared with our programme curators and you will be contacted when selected to agree on further details, including dates and locations. Please note the fee payments are made via transfer/BACS by The City of Edinburgh Council following the submission of all relevant information.

Please complete the form by Monday noon on 1 July 2024.

If you have any questions, please contact Beata Skobodzinska at beata.skobodzinska@edinburgh.gov.uk
