2012 Con Edison Musicians’ Residency: Composition Program
Exploring the Metropolis is happy to announce the fourth round of the Con Edison Musicians’ Residency: Composition Program for 2012-13. The residency provides free space in cultural and community facilities for composition work.
This year, we will select eight NYC-based composers for residence in four facilities. Composers receive three months of free workspace and a $1,000 stipend. All composers must complete one public program in cooperation with the host facility.
This year’s four host facilities will be:
1.) Flushing Town Hall
2.) Turtle Bay Music School
3.) Bloomingdale School for Music
4.) Brooklyn Youth Chorus Academy
The application deadline is June 1, 2012. This is an in-hand, not postmark, deadline. Please read the guidelines thoroughly before submitting.
Guidelines and applications can be downloaded below.
Stemming from our 2008 study, “Where Can We Work?” the Con Edison Musicians’ Residency: Composition Program has been operating since 2009. Previously administered through NYC Performing Arts Spaces, a Program of Fractured Atlas, it is now operated by Exploring the Metropolis.
