ENCORE

No Deadline.

Encore (formerly the Performance Incentive Fund) expands contemporary repertoire by subsidizing multiple performances of new works. By encouraging individual and ensemble performers to add newly created works to their repertoires, it assists composers in securing the consistent performances that build and sustain their careers, and helps nurture relationships between composers and performers of new music.

Composers and performers apply jointly, and performers are required to work with composers whose music they have not previously performed. (Performers need not be specialists in playing new music.)

Before sending submissions, composers must download and read the full guidelines and project proposal form. (See below.)

If you need further information or have trouble downloading guidelines, contact David Wolff at (651) 251-2833 or dwolff@composersforum.org.
