C3⊂IC Club Contemporary Classical Subset Indie Classical: Events, Outreach, Network and Development
Start date: May 1, 2016, End date: Apr 30, 2018 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The C3-IC project focuses on an emerging, important trend – the creation and presentation of music which happily ignores the boundaries between ‘traditional’ musical genres represented in the name this nascent scene has given to itself and such work: Indie-Classical (IC). Indie-Classical is contemporary classical blended and intermingled with pop, rock, world and electronica. Artists and venues dotted across Europe are consciously active in this genre, hailing its relevance for a wider audience because it reflects European life, with its constant intermingling of sensory and information input. The live performance aspect of C3 sharpens the focus further by honing in on one of the strongest sub-strands within the Indie Classical genre: new classical mingled with electronica, a sub-strand which tends to yield a very high level of artistic quality.There are 3 strata to the C3⊂IC project: 1. a “C3 Roadshow” concert series with artist collaborations. This is a touring group selected by the EU partners which performs in public venues. This concept gives the artists EU wide visibility and opportunities to develop their skills in various collaborations; Groupmuse "teaser" concerts arranged online but realised in private homes, a promising audience development method. 2. workshops by IC experts in collaboration with local educational institutions to be offered to students and young professionals and 3. founding and follow up meetings of the European Indie-Classical Network at Classical:NEXT ’16 and ’17, plus local network meetings in all partner countries. These involve local professionals and institutions (e.g. export offices) and will strengthen ties between them and help them to reach new markets and audiences.
