The third cohort of Sound and Music's flagship artist development programme, In Motion, brings together 10 brilliant creators from across the UK for its 2026 edition.
Now in its third year, In Motion continues to build on the legacy of its artist development work while responding to the changing needs of today’s creators.
The In Motion 2026 cohort reflects the richness and originality of new music in the UK today. Their work moves across improvisation, ritual, memory, technology, ecology, diaspora, voice, movement, data, place and performance. Across the cohort, artists are developing transcultural practices, site-responsive work and ambitious new ways of making music that stretch across form and genre.
What connects them is a shared commitment to risk, research and creative evolution. Over the next 18 months, In Motion will support each artist to deepen their practice, test new ideas and bring ambitious new work into the world.
Our In Motion 2026 artists are: Alex Hitchcock, Amy Bryce, MA.MOYO, Christo Squier, Elischa Kaminer, Hannah Lou Larsen, Roxanna Albayati, SEAYOOL, Simmy Singh, and Sofia Grant.
In Motion supports innovative creators at pivotal moments in their journey — helping them explore ambitious ideas, evolve their practice and take their work further. Combining funding, mentoring, coaching, peer support and tailored professional development, the programme gives artists the space and confidence to create work that might not otherwise be possible.
Sound and Music believes artists need time, trust and meaningful support to take risks, grow their networks, reach audiences and sustain creative careers. In Motion is a space for reflection, experimentation, connection and growth.
