Notes for artists
Becoming a Swiss Global Artistic Foundation Artist
The identification and selection of artists occurs through a variety of sources, not least this website. Artists are invited to submit enquiries to the Foundation's Director, Heather de Haes at heatherdehaes@swissglobal.org. Comprehensive biographical information should be included but, in the first instance, no recordings or other examples of work. If our Artistic Committee feels there may be a possible match, further materials will be requested and an audition arranged.
As a Foundation Artist, you would:
- Appear on our Artists' list
- Appear on our website, www.swissglobal.org, with your biography, photographs, examples of your work and news items about your major achievements
- Be offered performance opportunities where possible and appropriate
- Be offered coaching and career guidance if we mutually feel they are appropriate
- In exceptional circumstances, be offered financial assistance towards advanced studies, or assistance with special needs, such as, for example, finding a high-quality musical instrument
- Where we are able, be offered networking opportunities with the music industry
- Normally remain on our list for two or three years, or until we feel it is time for you to move to the next level of your career
As a Foundation Artist, you would be obliged:
- To keep us regularly updated with your biography, photos and news of your achievements
- To mention your standing as Swiss Global Artistic Foundation Artist in your biography, promotional materials and wherever else it is possible and appropriate
- When placed by the Foundation in festivals, recital series or as a soloist with an orchestra or an opera production, to help us ensure that the Foundation is duly credited for your appearance
