Chamber Music America, the national network of ensemble music professionals, offers support to U.S.-based classical/contemporary
ensembles, presenters and festivals for commissioning American composers to create new chamber works.
CMA’s
Classical Commissioning Program provides grants to U.S.-based
presenters and professional contemporary classical and world music
ensembles for the commissioning and performance of
new works by American composers. The program supports works scored for
2–10 musicians performing one per part, composed in any of the musical
styles associated with contemporary classical music.
CMA’s Classical Commissioning Program grants are made for commissioning fees, copying costs and ensemble rehearsal honoraria.
Compositions
must be written for small ensembles (2 to 10 musicians) performing one
to a part, and may represent a diverse musical spectrum, including
contemporary art music, world music,
and works that include electronics.
Commission fees range from $5,000 to $20,000. Applicants must be Chamber Music America members at the Organization level.
The new composition must be performed by the ensemble a minimum of three times in the U.S.
Program guidelines, online application and FAQs can be downloaded at the CMA website,
www.chamber-music.org. All CMA grant applications are submitted
online. Webinars for applicants will take place on March 9 and
21 at 1:00 PM (Eastern). Click on either of these dates to RSVP.
Submissions must be received no later than
Sunday, April 2, 2017 at 11:59 PM Eastern Time.
