Meet The Composer Accepting Applications for Creative Connections

A program of Meet The Composer, Creative Connections provides support for U.S. composers working in any style or genre of music or sound art to participate in public activities related to specific performances of their original music.

Creative Connections applications are submitted by a U.S.-based sponsoring organization (a presenter, ensemble, dance company, etc.) requesting support for one or more composers participating in public activities organized, sponsored, and/or presented by the organization.

Please note that sponsoring organizations no longer need 501(c)(3) status or fiscal sponsorship to apply.

Creative Connections supports composer activities including but not limited to pre- and post-performance discussions (in more formal concert venues); interaction with audience during and after the performance (in less formal concert venues); open workshops; radio, television, and Webcast or podcast interviews; community outreach events; and open rehearsals.

Meet The Composer accepts applications according to the following quarterly schedule: April 1 for activities beginning July to August; June 1 for activities beginning September to December; October 1 for activities beginning January to March; and January 7 for activities beginning April to June. Applications will be accepted no earlier than one month prior to the appropriate deadline, and grants will be awarded in amounts of up to $5,000 each.

Visit the Meet The Composer Web site for complete program information and application guidelines.
