A grant (for NYC and MN residents)

[Matt Davignon <mattdavignon@gmail.com>]

This is a rare grant - it's refreshing to see grants offered to
"emerging" composers. (See their definition of "Emerging Composers"
below!)

Some interesting notes:

--Only composers who reside in Minnesota or in the five boroughs of
New York City may apply. Their performing/presenting partner may be
based anywhere in the world.

--Only emerging composers may apply. "Emerging" composers are at an
early stage in their careers, with as-yet little peer recognition, no
national reputation (as determined by prior performances and awards),
and limited professional opportunities.

--A composer applies in conjunction with a performing organization
(which may be any soloist or group, not necessarily a non-profit
organization). Alternatively, a composer/performer/improviser who
plays in her/his own work applies in conjunction with a venue or
presenter (e.g., school, theater, gallery, festival, radio station,
etc.).

--JFund welcomes applications in all musical genres, including jazz,
experimental, classical, improvised, electroacoustic, sound-art and
international styles, and seeks to expand new-music culture beyond the
usual settings.
