Applications are now invited for the Music Network and St. John’s Theatre and Arts Centre Musician-in-Residence Programme.
Who can apply for the Musician-In-Residence Programme?
On this occasion, we welcome applications solely from professional musicians who are resident in Ireland, who identify as Autistic/Person with Autism and who have a strong track record in music performance.

The appointment of the Musician-in-Residence is for 4 months (July to October 2024), and the successful applicant will be paid a bursary of €8,000. The residency will provide support for the Musician-in-Residence to devote time to:

- Develop their creative practice

- Create new work and/or artistic collaborations

- Engage with the community, working alongside an experienced facilitator to deliver a programme of inclusive music activities

- Showcase their work live in concert at the end of the residency (the performance may involve collaborating musicians engaged by the Musician-in-Residence).

The Musician-in-Residence will visit St. John’s Theatre 4 times during the residency period and have access to the theatre or a suitable alternative space for up to 14 days. In addition, a range of in-kind supports will be offered by St. John’s Theatre and Music Network. The Musician-in-Residence will be welcome to liaise directly with the Artistic Director of St. John’s Theatre throughout the residency and also with Music Network staff, as needed.
