Diaphonique is a cooperation programme designed to encourage multi-national collaborations between composers, musicians and venues.
It is expected that, as far as possible, the multi-national collaborative dimension of Diaphonique projects will be present at all points of the project: between composers, between musicians and between venues.
In this context, Diaphonique supports bilateral Franco-British projects and trilateral Franco-British-Irish projects.
Regarding the partnership launched in 2023 with Culture Ireland, projects presented in the UK and/or France and/or Ireland, which include the three components of British, French and Irish composers and/or musicians, are eligible.
