LA FABRIK DES FRANCOFOLIES
A project dedicated to supporting artists on the road to professionalism
The Francofolies Fabrik project is in line with the missions of the Francofolies Esch/Alzette and aims to support the emergence of artists from Luxembourg’s new music scene.
As in the last two years, two artists will be selected and will benefit from a personalized support program consisting of 3 MAIN AXES:
COACHING in a program to prepare them for the stage, through work in residence, meetings and exchanges supervised by a team of professionals;
PERSONALIZED ADVICE on the professional environment, to help them improve their understanding of their own structure in relation to their objectives and the music market;
PROGRAMME on one of the Francofolies Esch/Alzette stages, while promoting identification with a network of professionals, as well as with partner venues and festivals.
