Residents
Each year, Volta chooses 6 residents. They receive, in addition to access to our workspaces, customized guidance to push their careers forward.
There are certain basic criteria that Volta considers important to achieve a good collaboration.
In doing so, we give preference to projects and musicians:
- that have growth potential on an artistic level
- that fit within a diverse selection, both in terms of profile and genres.
- with an innovative and experimental character
- that are a relevant addition to the current music sector.
What does VOLTA offers :
- A free VOLTA membership
- Technical & artistic guidance
- Network and partners to make the right links
- Promo & visibility
- Presentation / try out / concert
The residency lasts one year, but may be extended depending on plans and trajectory
