These are the first selection results of the European Talent Exchange Programme 2015. The European Talent Exchange Programme (ETEP) is an initiative of the Noorderslag Foundation aimed at stimulating the circulation of European repertoire at festivals, on radio and in the media throughout Europe. Given that the exchange and support of new European music in Europe is one of the main goals of Eurosonic Noorderslag, ETEP was introduced in 2003. Each year ETEP brings together the leading European festivals, radio and other media, and encourages them to ‘exchange’ a selection of artists. Since the start of the ETEP programme in 2003 a total of 2294 shows by 810 European artists have been presented at 90 ETEP festivals in 30 countries (2003-2014). The next ETEP and CEETEP press release with new results will follow March, 2015.
