CRASH WORKS 2023 OPEN CALL

4 music creators will be selected from the open call process and will be commissioned to write a new work for Crash in partnership with New Music Dublin festival with thee commissions performed the festival in 2025.

Crash Works is a development hub incorporating Crash Ensemble musicians, our team of lovely, skilled, talented people, and the composers/music creators around us, to meet the needs of emerging musical artists in the 21st century. We share our knowledge of the sector with them, while exploring and supporting new ways of creating music and the people who create this music.

We want to create music in a different way and to explore new ideas, new sounds and new music.

We fully support the commission and presentation of each new work and allow time for thinking, creating, collaborating, investigating and re-defining what it is to be a music creator.
