Commissioning Grant Details
Grants
The purpose of these grants is to diversify the composers of double reed repertoire. These grants are given towards the commissioning of composers who are women, binary and nonbinary trans-identified and gender non-conforming persons, Black, Indigenous, people of color (Latinx, Asian, Middle-Eastern, etc) and historically underrepresented ethnic groups.
Up to five Commissioning Grants of $1,000, $750 or $500 will be awarded to 2025 Conference recital applicants whose proposal includes the commissioning and premiere of a new work for a double reed instrument(s); this money must be used to assist in the fulfillment of the composer’s fee and will be paid directly to the composer after the premier performance at the IDRS Conference at Butler University, Indianapolis, Indiana, USA, June 10-14, 2025.
The awarded composer will agree to IDRS recording and sharing a video of the premiere with IDRS membership.
IDRS thanks Members of the IDRS Commissioning Committee, Ryan Reynolds (Chair), Hassan Anderson, Lorelei Dowling, Nicolasa Kuster, Sarah Roper (ex officio), Esther Williams, Yiu Song Lam.
