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) playing 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.
Commissioned composers need not be members of Chamber Music America, but we invite you to review a list of CMA's composer members and to visit their websites:

Guidelines for 2010 applications will be posted in December 2009.
