Copland House announces its 2012 Aaron Copland Awards
composer residencies. Typically, six to nine emerging or mid-career composers
(American citizens or permanent residents) are selected to live and work, one
at a time, for approximately three to eight weeks at Aaron Coplands National
Historic Landmark home in New Yorks lower Hudson River Valley, one hour north
of New York City.
Accommodations, meals, housekeeping, and local
transportation are provided by Copland House. Composers writing in any
genre and small collaborative teams are welcome to apply. Residencies
will be scheduled between November 1, 2012 and October 31, 2013.
Copland
Awards residents also become eligible for the Sylvia Goldstein Award, Borromeo
String Quartet Award, Hoff-Barthelson School/Copland House commission, and
other prospective honors, performances, and opportunities. Composers must
submit a Copland Awards residency application form (downloadable), three
representative works and recordings, resume, and brief description of the
project(s) planned.
