The Sonorities Festival of Contemporary Music invites applications for participation in an improvised music collective directed by Evan Parker. Performers from across all experimental and new music practices are encouraged to apply by sending a recording that demonstrates their practice in improvised music along with a short bio.

Selected applicants will perform in a workshop and concert directed by Evan Parker on November 7, 2010.

Each selected performer will receive a bursary of £400 to cover expenses.
