Meet the Composer/New England OverviewPlease note that the guidelines and deadlines for Meet the Composer/New England have recently been revised. Even if you have received funding in the past, please read the guidelines and application instructions carefully. Meet the Composer increases opportunities for New England composers to work in New England communities by fostering the creation, performance, dissemination, and appreciation of their music, and provides meaningful interactions and experiences between New England composers, their music, and the citizens of New England. In cooperation with Meet the Composer, Inc., NEFA offers grants to nonprofit organizations in New England to provide interaction between New England-based composers and audiences, related to specific performances of the composer's work. Meet the Composer/New England grantees should provide opportunities for composers that will ensure informative contact with audiences and communities. These include workshops, lectures, open rehearsals, and appearances on local media broadcasts. The composer’s process of creating original music must be reflected in the planned community activities. Eligible projects encompass the full range of music composition, including jazz, European classical, and songwriting. Program Goals Grant Guidelines Meet the Composer/New England supports the fee of the New England-based composer, which cannot include the costs of a performing ensemble or additional artists. The funding criteria relate to the activities of the individual composer for whom funding is being requested. Deadline
