The program encourages applications for projects resulting in the creation of new works. Commissions by American ensembles to French composers or composers based in France, as well as collaborations between French and American musicians and institutions will be supported with up to 10,000 dollars.
— Commissions may include arrangements, compositions, rehearsals, performances and recordings.— U.S. premieres of French works will also be considered.
— Projects involving artists or composers whose work has rarely been seen in the partner country.— Projects involving new generations of composers.— Projects involving women artists and/or composers.— Projects reflecting diversity and inclusion.
The fund will not support directly individual artists.
The Albertine Music program offers financial support in the form of grants to American or French nonprofit organizations that represent, produce, or present the project of the artist(s).
— Individual artist or ensemble involved should work at a professional level.— Individual artist or ensemble involved must be French or U.S. citizens or legal residents for the past five years and currently reside in their respective territory.— Applicants must be (or represented by) an American nonprofit institution or a French association loi 1901.— Applicants (or their representatives) must be able to demonstrate their nonprofit status.
