Following an open call which drew in excess of 60 bids,  9 music-creators were selected to work with a remarkable central team of 7 lead artists, all making waves in their own genres and fields. The cohort of artists will come together under Tŷ Cerdd's latest pathway CoDi Self to develop their own practices through collaboration with others on two intensive retreats this spring. 

The resulting cohort of participants and lead-artists reflects a range of genres, ages, languages and lived experiences.
