Are you a musician and would you like to submit your project for one of our activities?


Les Lundis d’Hortense organizes a whole range of activities, including more than 100 concerts per season. Almost the entire programme – with the exception of certain special events – is based on calls for applications, which are listened to blindly by the members of the Board of Directors of the non-profit association. The vast majority of the members are professional musicians, the others are aficionados who are familiar with the genre. Each group has an equal chance of being selected for the activity for which they are applying. The musicians of the Board of Directors do not have the right to vote for the projects in which they are taking part.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to programme everyone. Out of the 159 Jazz Tour 2020–2021 applications, only nine groups will be selected, so please be patient and put things into perspective: a rejection is not a judgement on the  artistic quality of the project. It is the sum of 18 subjective opinions that enables the most objective selection possible. Please ensure the sound quality of your clips, their effectiveness (no long introductions or 25-minute standards without arrangements) and correct editing (discussions between group members before or after the shot, false starts, long counts, etc.).

Best of luck!
