SGAE Foundation Funds New Symphonies with 130,000 Euros
The SGAE Foundation has allocated a budget of 130,000 euros to stimulate authors to write music for orchestra. This action seeks to enrich the catalog of current symphonic pieces, offering direct economic support to creators. 🎼
Features of the Grants Call
The call for these grants is already open. Composers who are members of the entity can submit their proposals until the total allocated fund is exhausted. According to the rules, the works must be completely new and have a specific duration. A panel of experts will evaluate the projects and select the authors who will receive the money to compose and, later, present their creation to the public.
Key Points of the Process:- The funds, 130,000 euros, are distributed through this call.
- Only composers who are SGAE members can apply.
- The submitted works must be unpublished and of specific duration.
This effort to fund symphonic creation responds to the need to renew the catalog of orchestral music.
Impact on Current Music
By facilitating the emergence of new compositions, an attempt is made to invigorate what is programmed in concert halls and present contemporary works to the public. This initiative adds to others carried out by the foundation to protect copyright and promote diversity in culture.
Objectives of the Funding:- Renew and expand the contemporary symphonic repertoire.
- Invigorate concert hall programming with current works.
- Complement other foundation actions in favor of culture.
The Pending Challenge
The next step, no less complex, is for orchestras to decide to include these new scores in their programs, overcoming the tendency to repeat the traditional classical repertoire. This challenge is crucial for the investment in creation to find its final echo on stage. 🎻
