IDRS 50 for 50 Commissioning Project: Grants

Commissioning Grant Details

Grants

The purpose of these grants is to diversify the composers of double reed repertoire. These grants are given towards the commissioning of composers who are women, binary and nonbinary trans-identified and gender non-conforming persons, Black, Indigenous, people of color (Latinx, Asian, Middle-Eastern, etc) and historically underrepresented ethnic groups.

Four (4) grants will be awarded to 2024 Conference recital applicants whose accepted proposals included the commissioning and premiere of at least one new work for a double reed instrument(s); this money must be used to assist in the fulfillment of the composer’s fee.
IDRS thanks the judging panel: Members of the IDRS Commissioning Committee, Ryan Reynolds (Chair), Hassan Anderson, Lorelei Dowling, Nicolasa Kuster, Sarah Roper (ex officio), Esther Williams, Yiu Song Lam

Each winning work will be premiered at the IDRS Conference in Flagstaff, USA, July 21-25, 2024 and each winning composer will receive a $1,000 USD fee.
