Support the Composers Institute
From May 17 - June 1, 2021, we are running a fundraising campaign through Fractured Atlas to help financially support the 2021 Composers Institute, a new, tuition-free program for high school age composers.
Our goal for these two weeks is to raise $5000. Here’s how you can help!
Thank you for supporting the Composers Institute!
Your gift will go a long way to making this program possible and free for all applicants and participants. Examples of what funds will be used for include supporting composer-faculty compensation, supporting participants with score engraving or copyist services, spreading the word about our project, and offering technology/internet support to all participants in the program.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Under “Donation Attribution,” please select “This is a memorial or special occasion gift” and include “Composers Institute” in the memo box. Thank you for your support!
