Program Description

Overview The altreviolett Music Residency has been designed to meet the needs of emerging or independent individuals or groups who create sounds influenced by afromusic or cultures or hiphop music or culture ready to take the next step in their careers and artistic development. It offers them a unique opportunity to write, rehearse, and record new music in a ten-week stint at exclusive living quarters in Toronto, Canada as a way to plug into the influence of the growing hiphop and afromusic scene, find new inspiration in the city and bring more into day-to-day life. What does the program offer? The artistes will focus on developing their sound and creating new material through self-study and interaction with the city, with our program director on hand to support you and help you find the right inspiration. There will also be plenty of time to collaborate with fellow artistes, creatives of other disciplines during the program, exchange ideas, and spark off each other.
