Chamber Music America Invites Applications From Member Organizations for Residency Partnership Program

Chamber Music America's residency partnership program supports live ensemble music in rural, urban, and suburban communities across the United States. Dynamic collaborations and non-traditional partnerships among ensembles, presenters, and community-based organizations are encouraged. The program is open to ensemble and presenter members of Chamber Music America.

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 ranges from a minimum of three days to one year. Support ranges from 50 percent to 80 percent of proposed costs. These may include cash from other grants, earned income, in-kind donations, or an allocation from the organization's general operating funds.

Short-term projects — a minimum of three days with a minimum of three residency activities — are eligible for grants of from $2,500 to $6,000 each. Extended projects — a minimum of ten activities over a period of one month to a year — are eligible for grants of from $5,000 to $12,000 each.

In addition, one recipient will be selected each year from the string quartet applicants to CMA's Residency Partnership Program for the Guarneri String Quartet grant, an annual residency grant for a string quartet.
