Subj: [kl] Commission Assistance Program
Date: Mon, 27 Jan 2003 14:40:25 -0500

Co-op Press invites musicians and musical organizations to apply for its
Commission Assistance Grant. The deadline for receipt of applications
for the next cycle is March 14, 2003.

The purposes of the grant are to encourage performers at all levels of
development (elementary performing ensemble through professional) to
experience the value of working closely with a composer of Mainstream
Literary Music, to cultivate audiences for Mainstream Literary Music by
having the composer speak about the music at the concert and in
seminars, to encourage composer/performer interaction by having the
composer and performer work closely during the creation and rehearsal
process, and to foster the growth of Mainstream Literary Music.
Mainstream Literary Music is art music that is based on musical
traditions established prior to the mid-20th century. One grant each
cycle is being set aside for student musicians (grade school through
college soloists or small ensembles) in order to foster their interest
in Mainstream Literary Music. The grant supports the commissioning of
composer, Sy Brandon, and covers the cost of the commission fee, the
copying and reproduction of parts, and the composer residency.
Applicants must be individuals or organizations residing in the United
States or Canada.
