This program enables ensembles and presenters to bring live ensemble music to rural, urban, and suburban communities nationwide. Dynamic collaborations and non-traditional partnerships among ensembles, presenters, and community-based organizations are encouraged.
Residency projects may include workshops, ensemble coaching sessions, lecture/demonstrations, and/or concerts that are not part of a regular series. The length of the collaborative project may range from a minimum of three days to a maximum of one year. Applicants may also propose more extensive projects that require up to three years to complete.

Depending on size of ensemble, number of residency events, and duration and scope of the project, support will typically range from 50% to 80% of proposed costs. Applications must state sources of support in addition to the amount requested from CMA. This may include cash from other grants, earned income, in-kind donations, or an allocation from the organization's general operating funds.
