COMPOSERS: The Fromm Music Foundation at Harvard University, founded by the late Paul Fromm in the fifties, has been located at Harvard University since 1972. The Fromm Foundation commissions new compositions and funds their performances. These commissions represent one of the principal ways that the Fromm Music Foundation seeks to strengthen composition and to bring contemporary concert music closer to the public. In addition to the commissioning fee of $10,000, a subsidy is available for the ensemble performing the premiere of the commissioned work. Applications for commissions are reviewed on an annual basis. Deadline: Jun. 1, 2009. The official announcement and description of this opportunity may be found on the funding agency's website: http://www.fas.harvard.edu/%7Emusicdpt/fromm.html To be eligible, composers must be citizens or residents of the Unites States.
