ARTZenter Institute Emerging Composer Program - January 2025

Details

ARTZenter Institute is a newly-established grant program in partnership with the SF Contemporary Players, encouraging the creation of new music that explores the power and grace of the traditional orchestral ensemble. The fund was created by Tony Magee, founder of The Lagunitas Brewing Company of Petaluma, CA, and is committed to creating chamber orchestra workshops, mentorship and performance opportunities for young composers nationwide. The Emerging Composer Completion Grant Program has the potential to evolve into one of the nation’s largest and most ambitious vehicles in support of new work, with multiple calls-for-scores being announced annually.

Featuring the winning composers from ARTZenter’s fourth round of completion grants from August 2024, we present a public reading and lab session of six newly completed works for chamber orchestra. FREE ADMISSION - no tickets or reservations required.
