Meet The Composer Invites New York City Organizations to Apply for Cary New Music Performance Fund

A program of Meet The Composer, the Cary New Music Performance Fund is designed to support new music activity by small-budget, grassroots, and emerging organizations whose opportunities for composers are a valuable contribution to the total arts community. The program provides general operating support to music organizations that demonstrate excellence in innovative new music programming and in performance of music by living composers.

Eligible organizations are those that focus primarily or exclusively on new music, including in significant measure the work of living composers, improvisers, sound artists, or singer/songwriters. Applicant organizations may include ensembles, collectives, and non-commercial concert venues or presenters. There are no restrictions on the style or genre of music presented.

To be considered for funding, an organization must have been in continuous operation for three or more years, have a minimum of three years performing or producing events in New York City featuring new music, and have had an annual budget of $600,000 or less, on average, over the last three years.

Awards will range from $3,000 to $10,000 each. The funds can be used for any purpose that supports the mission of the organization and promotes new music and composers.

Complete program information is available at the Meet The Composer Web site.
