Guidelines for artists who wish to apply:
Generally, we do not hold pure concerts, except for local duo concerts. Our formats are interactive, meaning sessions with an opener or formations to which we invite individual musicians or groups who improvise and interact in various formations that we have arranged for the evening.
We generally cannot consider specific appointment requests. Due to the multitude of inquiries from both domestic and international sources, we are unable to respond to them. However, we do include all inquiries in our musician database and will get in touch if there is interest: fim-ffm@gmx.net
