NYC Performing Arts Spaces is currently accepting applications for the Spring 2010 round of the Con Edison Musicians’ Residency: Composition Program.
New York City-based composers in all genres are invited to apply for one of six (6) three-month residencies at one of three cultural facilities. The newly-expanded residency program will provide awardees with use of suitable composition and rehearsal space for a three-month period starting in spring 2010. Each composer-in-residence will also receive a stipend. Each facility will present a free public program featuring their resident composers' work.
Residencies will take place at Flushing Town Hall and Florence E. Smith Community Center in Queens, as well as Turtle Bay Music School in Manhattan. The residency opportunities at Florence E. Smith Community Center are part of Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg’s “Age-Friendly NYC” Initiative, and are made possible by our partnership with the City of New York Department for the Aging.
