Are you interested in commissioning a composition written especially for you? Would you like to provide educational outreach opportunities where your audiences and students can learn from an experienced composer, performer, author and educator? Are you interested in producing a CD for distribution to the public and for sale to your audiences? If you are, then the Co-op Press Fund Grant Programs can help you achieve your goals of reaching out to your audiences to share your enthusiasm for your art.

The Commission Assistance Grant Program enables performers to have a composition composed especially for them by composer, Sy Brandon, in order to generate audience and performer excitement about a world premiere. This grant is available to performers (elementary through professional) in the United States.

The Recording Grant enables talented performers to produce a professional quality CD through Emeritus Recordings. The CD will receive commercial distribution through physical and digital retail outlets and promotion through broadcast, advertisement and reviews. The CD will also be made available to the artists for sale to their audiences. The CD must include at least one composition of composer, Sy Brandon, and can include a composition written by him especially for this recording. This grant is available to performers throughout the United States.

These grant programs have deadlines for receipt of the application of April 1, July 1 October 1, and January 1 of each year.
