Do you have a special occasion coming up? Do you wish to do something
exciting and unique at one of your future programs? Do you wish to be
involved with building the repertoire for your instrument, voice or
ensemble? Do you want to foster art music of the 21st century that is
audience friendly? If the answer to any of these questions is "yes",
then you may wish to consider applying for a Co-op Press Commission
Assistance Grant. This competitive program is designed to encourage
performers at all levels of development (elementary performing ensemble
through professional) to experience the value of working closely with a
composer, to cultivate audiences for new music, to encourage
composer/performer interaction, to encourage composer/audience
interaction, and to foster the growth of new music. The grant is open
to residents of the United States or Canada and supports the
commissioning of composer, Sy Brandon, by covering the cost of the
commission fee, the copying and reproduction of parts, and a residency.
The next deadline is April 17, 2004. Past compositions written via this
grant program have been extremely well received by audiences and have
been performed at regional, national, and international conferences.
Several have been recorded for release on a CD and have been broadcast
over National Public Radio and its affiliates. For application and
