2011 McKnight Visiting Composer Residencies
The American Composers Forum is pleased to announce the 2011 McKnight Visiting Composer Residencies. The application deadline isMarch 26, 2011 (postmark).
Funded by the McKnight Foundation, this annual program underwrites a residency in Minnesota of at least eight weeks for two non-Minnesota based composers. While in residence, each visiting composer collaborates on a project with a Minnesota performing, presenting, and/or community organization.
The program encourages interaction with a variety of audiences, including rural populations and students. The selection process favors projects that promise to have considerable impact on the host community. Previous composers have led instrument-building workshops, created school music dramas, collaborated with the restaurant workers’ union, and constructed an installation in a remote cave.
Complete program and application guidelines are available here.
If you have questions or need additional information, please contact Craig Carnahan: ccarnahan@composersforum.org.
