Stay Close unites a number of institutional partners.

Funding for the project is gratefully received from Arts Council England, Jerwood Charitable Foundation and Iran Heritage Foundation

Musicians from the London Philharmonic Orchestra Foyle Future Firsts Scheme will make up the Western classical musicians in the ensemble while the Iranian classical musicians will come from a variety of sources.

Members of the Iranian Youth Development Association will attend workshops run by the composer through which they will be encouraged to represent their ethnic identity through sound and language. The content of these workshops will inspire the final piece.

V&A will host a performance of the final piece to mark the closing of the Jameel Prize 2013/14.

Department of Music at City University London will host a performance of the new piece and composer-led lecture on the project.

Hermes Records will provide a link to musicians in Iran during the initial research phase.
