C2C Festival launches an open call for C2C Curators Training and new opportunities in music curation
A series of workshops and in-depth sessions led by leading national and international professionals will guide C2C Curators. Selected participants will have full access to the festival, including production spaces and behind-the-scenes areas, thus offering a unique immersive experience. Among the scheduled activities are the C2C Talks, set to take place at Teatro Regio on October 30, 2026, providing an opportunity for direct exchange with industry experts.
A further development of the program is part of TMLAB, an international cooperation project supported by the European Union. In this context, one selected candidate will benefit from additional opportunities: a mentorship starting in July, the possibility to curate a showcase with at least three emerging Italian artists, and a financial contribution of €3,000, in addition to travel, accommodation, and per diem coverage. The project is dedicated to the memory of Sergio Ricciardone, a key figure in redefining the role of the contemporary music promoter. Thanks to his vision, C2C Festival has transformed into a complex cultural platform capable of combining risk, research, and community building.
With this open call, C2C Festival strengthens its commitment to supporting the professional and cultural growth of new figures in the music landscape, promoting an inclusive, experimental, and future-oriented approach. The programme is also free of charge and is aimed at young Italians and international students living in Italy, with a particular focus on those from under-represented backgrounds
