Subj: [kl] Commission Assistance Grant
Date: Tue, 15 Mar 2005 14:18:37 -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 April 16, 2005.

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, to cultivate
audiences for new music that is based on the traditions established
prior to the mid-twentieth century, and to encourage
composer/performer/audience interaction.

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.

Successful grant winners include the Golden Gate Wind Quintet, the
Euphouria Quartet, the Trio di Camerati, the French Road School
Elementary School Band and Orchestra, the San Jose Metropolitan Band,
as well as individual artists. The works that have been commissioned
have been performed at regional and international conferences and on
National Public Radio.
