[Trombone-l] Opportunities for Performers

[Retiredprof55]

Are you interested in commissioning a composition written especially  
for you? Would you like to provide educational outreach opportunities  
where your audiences and students can learn from an experienced  
composer, performer, author and educator? Are you interested in  
producing a CD for distribution to the public and for sale to your  
audiences? If you are, then the Co-op Press Fund Grant Programs can  
help you achieve your goals of reaching out to your audiences to share  
your enthusiasm for your art.

The Commission Assistance Grant Program enables performers to have a  
composition composed especially for them by composer, Sy Brandon, in  
order to generate audience and performer excitement about a world  
premiere. This grant is available to performers (elementary through  
professional) in the United States.

The Recording Grant enables talented performers to produce a  
professional quality CD through Emeritus Recordings. The CD will  
receive commercial distribution through physical and digital retail  
outlets and promotion through broadcast, advertisement and reviews.  
The CD will also be made available to the artists for sale to their  
audiences. The CD must include at least one composition of composer,  
Sy Brandon, and can include a composition written by him especially  
for this recording. This grant is available to performers throughout  
the United States.

These grant programs have deadlines for receipt of the application of  
April 1, July 1 October 1, and January 1 of each year.
