Welcome to Enterprise Music Scotland, bringing the best chamber music to venues across Scotland.
Enterprise Music Scotland is the body funded by Creative Scotland to support top quality live chamber music concerts. By providing centralised services and ongoing funding and support, EMS enables over 450 concerts per year to take place. Throughout Scotland there are over 80 chamber music clubs, arts guilds and other voluntary organisations who engage professional musicians to visit and perform in their local venues. Ranging from local church halls, community spaces, schools and local concert halls, EMS helps to facilitate access for all to live music across the whole Scottish community.
Enterprise Music Scotland helps to keep promoters in touch with quality artists and groups available for touring. By collating and publishing a Tours Book, EMS ensures musicians wishing to perform in Scotland are given the opportunity to market their concerts to the widest audience.
Enterprise Music Scotland is dedicated to developing new audiences and providing access for younger listeners. Musicians involved with EMS-supported concerts are often actively involved in our education and outreach programmes.
Enterprise Music Scotland is committed to making quality New Music accessible throughout Scotland. EMS centrally commissions a new work annually in collaboration with the Residency Project and also works closely with member promoters to assist with commissioning, touring of new works and promotional activity.
Enterprise Music Scotland is delighted to announce that a new funding strand has been devolved from Creative Scotland to EMS. The Traditional Arts Small Projects Fund is designed to provide support for traditional artists, groups and organisations to create, platform, tour and showcase their work. The fund will also support professional development projects. This is an exciting new venture for EMS.
