Presenting Jazz

Chamber Music America is accepting applications for jazz ensemble grant programs.

Amount: $10,000

Date due: October 23, 2009.

Made possible with the support of the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, the Presenting Jazz program offers support to nonprofit U.S. presenters (or presenting organizations with fiscal sponsorship) for the engagement of a professional, touring, U.S. jazz ensemble for concert performance(s) between January 1, 2010 and August 31, 2011. Core support grants range from $5,000 to $10,000 and may be applied to the ensemble's concert fees, its audience-development activities, travel, accommodations, per diems, cartage, and to the presenter's marketing and production costs related to the concert(s). An additional incentive grant of up to $2,000 is available to presenters engaging ensembles that have received grants from Chamber Music America's New Works: Creation and Presentation or New Jazz Works programs.
