Chamber Music America Announces Grant Opportunity for Jazz Presenters
Chamber Music America is accepting applications for its 2011-12 Presenting Jazz program, which supports concert presentation of small-ensemble jazz music.
Funded by the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, the program supports U.S. presenters working with U.S. jazz ensembles to present public performances between January 1, 2011, and June 30, 2012. Priority is given to presentations of adventurous music and/or concerts that represent new directions for the presenter. Additional incentives are available to presenters that invite an ensemble to perform its CMA New Jazz Works commission.
To apply, a presenter must be a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) organization or an organization. Applicants must present jazz and/or other music genres, multi-disciplinary performing arts, or a guest-artist series at a college or university venue; and must have presented at least ten public music concerts in the past two years. Applicants must be CMA organization-level members.
Presenters may apply for grants of $5,000 to $12,000 each.
