The Amphion Foundation

  • April 01, 2020

The objective of the Amphion Foundation is to encourage the performance of contemporary concert music, particularly by American composers, through support to performing and presenting organizations that have demonstrated sustained artistic excellence.

Grant applications may be submitted by publicly supported nonprofit performing ensembles, presenters, festivals, and music service organizations that have a history of substantial commitment to contemporary concert music at a high level of excellence.

Organizations must have been in existence for at least two years. Performing ensembles, presenters, or organizations that are applying for support for performances must have presented two full seasons prior to the season for which support is requested, except for special projects of extraordinary significance.

Special projects relating to a broad spectrum of contemporary music will be viewed more favorably than those relating to a single work or a single composer.

Applicants other than orchestras and opera companies may request either general operating support or support for special projects. All orchestras and opera companies, except for contemporary music specialists, are eligible to apply only for special project support.

In general, the grant program does not support jazz music.

Grants are not provided to/for:

  • commissions to composers;
  • endowment funding;
  • audio or audio-visual recordings of any kind;
  • music publishing projects;
  • installations;
  • composition competitions; or,
  • projects that are part of the curriculum of an educational institution.

Note: The Foundation also provides support through the Elliott Carter Special Grant Program.
