How does CMN work?

How does CMN work?

CMN is constantly on the lookout for exceptional concepts in contemporary music which have the potential to be developed into a CMN supported tour. CMN is a fantastic resource and works to realise the most creative ideas.

 

The strong relationships we have built with a diverse range of venues and promoters across the country constitute a vital part of CMN’s network. We are always keen to expand our network and develop new relationships, as our portfolio of projects grows ever more varied and adventurous.

 

CMN is able to

subsidise the cost of a tour in the UK

 

provide marketing and venue support for the tour

 

supply print and design for the tour

 

secure national and local press and pr

 

all with the aim of enhancing – not replacing – the work that venues, promoters and individuals might themselves bring to a touring project.

 

CMN welcomes proposals from all parts of the creative community – both nationally and internationally. We welcome dialogue with

Artists

 

Producers

 

Promoters

 

Arts and Cultural Organisations

 

Agents

 

How does CMN decide what to present in its season?

When considering projects, CMN makes an artistic judgement about a proposal or idea, considers the proposal’s audience, marketing and press potential and asks the question

 

“Will the sound and /or concept of this project be new and refreshing or will it, despite being new, simply replicate a traditional or well tried approach and sound?â€

 

CMN

constructs a series of tours which together make up an interesting and coherent season

 

also develops and presents its own projects or works in partnership with others to develop and present a project

 

 

CMN is a programming organisation, so whilst a proposal might fit all CMN’s drivers it may not, ultimately, be presented by CMN.
