The OneBeat Virtual initiative is designed to encourage collaboration with artists from all around the world
Applications are open for the OneBeat Virtual initiative. OneBeat Virtual 2022 will digitally convene approximately 35 musicians from up to 50 eligible countries and territories. This fully virtual residency program will take place from July 11th – September 6th 2022.
During the 8-week period of the program, OneBeat Fellows will explore new forms of virtual collaboration. This includes forming ensembles to write, produce, and perform original work. They will also be required to attend virtual masterclasses and open-studios as well as participate in online workshops. Finally, they will be expected to produce a streaming final concert for the public.
Musicians, sound artists, and sonic explorers, are invited to apply. They have to be between the ages of 19-35 as well as be from eligible countries and territories. Fellows will receive a $1,500 USD honorarium and a modest per diem for their online participation.
OneBeat Virtual is an initiative of the U.S. State Department’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs in collaboration with the groundbreaking New York-based music organization Bang on a Can’s Found Sound Nation.
