Concerts SA offers travel grants to South African music professionals.
The Music Mobility Fund is a funding mechanism which offers
opportunities for South African musicians to undertake live music-related
projects. Music professionals are invited to apply for funding from a National
Mobility Fund (for projects in South Africa, specifically KwaZulu-Natal,
Western Cape and Gauteng) and a Regional Mobility Fund (for projects taking
place in SADC countries, except South Africa).
The Fund is administered by Concerts SA, a joint South
African/Norwegian project housed under the auspices of the Stakeholder Hub
within the SAMRO Foundation. Concerts SA receives financial, administrative and
technical support from the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, SAMRO
Foundation and Rikskonsertene.
Designed to help musicians, music industry professionals and
organisations build on already established domestic success and develop
connections, markets and audiences for their work, the fund provides support
towards travel and transportation; per diems; material costs (hiring of
backline and sound equipment), accommodation and visas.
Applications deadline is September 14, 2014. The successful applicants
will be announced on September 25, 2014.
