Open Call for Performers and Facilitators! (Edinburgh-Based)

Open Call for Steering Group Members! (Edinburgh-based)

St Cecilia’s Hall is looking for up to 10 individuals to join our Collections Steering Group, which will develop new interpretations of our South Asian musical instrument collection. We want to collaborate with the South Asian community to create new audio-visual labels for our digital guide with Bloomberg Connects, reorienting our museum’s approach to focus on the lived experience of those who played, and still continue to play, these instruments. Each member will be paid £100, with travel expenses covered up to £10. We are currently prioritising applications from those who identify as South Asian. This ensures that the learning and interpretations gained from this steering group are rooted in the lived experience and vibrant cultures that the instruments are tied to. Steering group members will need to be available for two sessions on the 14th and 21st of June, both a Saturday. These new audio-visual labels will launch on the app to mark the beginning of South Asian Heritage Month 2025, and will remain a permanent feature of our digital guide. Applications close on the 23rd of May, at 5pm.
