The Sphinx Organization, http://www.SphinxMusic.org is on a list of 40 grant recipients announced by The MAP Fund July 6, 2010. Alison Piech is Manager of Media Partnerships at the Sphinx Organization. AfriClassical recently asked her to confirm the report that a new grant would fund a commission for a composition by the Afro-Cuban composer and conductor Tania León, born in Havana in 1943. Alison has replied:
“Thank you for your message. Yes, I’m happy to confirm with you that Sphinx has received funding from the MAP Fund to support this commission from Tania Leon. There is also a release from the MAP Fund that has additional details which can be found here: http://mapfund.org/emails/2010_07_02/“
