Subject: Financial support
Dear Composers,
There is financial support for performances of the compositions listed below. If your local symphony orchestra has scheduled a performance of Leonard Bernstein’s Serenade (after Plato’s Symposium), please let the orchestra know of the link to submit their performance for consideration of a performance award. (Yes, I know Bernstein doesn’t need support to get a performance.) More importantly, if you know performers who might be interested in performing the other works on the list below of Fred Lerdahl, Leon Kirchner, Earl Kim, Michael Friedmann, and Lukas Foss, please let those performers know that the submission of their performance could result in an “honorarium” for their effort. (Michael Friedmann’s score and performance of Fantasy for solo violin can be downloaded from the submission entry form, next to his name. Other scores and performances are commercially available.)
Funds have been set aside to support performances of these works:
2018-2020: Leonard Bernstein: Serenade (after Plato’s Symposium) (in honor of his 100th birthday) ($8,000 available) 2018 Fred Lerdahl: Time after Time (in honor of his 75th birthday) ($4000 available) 2019 Leon Kirchner: String Quartet no. 1 (in honor of his 100th birthday) ($5000) 2020 Earl Kim: Where Grief Slumbers (in honor of his 100th birthday) ($6000) 2021 Michael Friedmann: Fantasy for solo violin (in honor of his 75th birthday) ($2000) 2022 Lukas Foss: Capriccio for Cello and Piano (in honor of his 100th birthday) ($2500) Click below to enter your performance and information for the Submission Entry Form.

This effort ends up alternating a commission for new music with the above concept of performance awards, but to start, I’m reaching out to composers to help make this financial support known, especially for Bernstein’s orchestral work with violin soloist. The Lerdahl Time after Time is a Pierrot ensemble with percussion, and the Earl Kim Where Grief Slumbers is soprano, harp, and string orchestra (or double string quartet).
Thanks for all the music at our recent National Conference at the University of Puget Sound! Host Rob Hutchinson, the extraordinary faculty, and gifted students, all did a fantastic job. But always, gratitude goes to the creators first.
All the best,
Doug Davis
