Open call: hcmf// shorts 2022

This year, we’re excited to be reopening our callout for artists to participate in the 2022 edition of hcmf// shorts. Through an open call, we’ll be selecting emerging artists and ensembles to perform as part of hcmf// 2022 as well as receive our support in developing their career.

hcmf// shorts is a performance and mentoring opportunity for emerging artists working across the UK.

A staple of the festival for many years, hcmf// shorts has developed to become a full day of free-to-attend concerts showcasing the best in emerging musical talent. Every year, hcmf// shorts takes place on the Monday of the festival and brings in some of our largest audiences, providing performers with an amazing opportunity to play to packed venues.

As part of hcmf// shorts, the festival provides a mentoring programme which sees artists selected from each year’s open call receive support across all aspects of their professional development. Artists involved in the programme will also become members of our Fielding Talent family – connecting them to other performers and composers we provide mentoring support to.

Successful applicants will receive a fee of £1,000 plus travel and accommodation in relation to the performance.
