Classical Commissioning Program
Deadline: April 6, 2012

Support to CMA member ensembles and presenters for commissions of new chamber works.

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, generally without a conductor, and may represent a diverse musical spectrum, including contemporary art music, world music, and works that include electronics.

The new composition must be performed a minimum of three times in the U.S.
