Today, more than ever, Albertine Foundation and Villa Albertine are proud to encourage, promote and support artistic performances and creations.
In 2004, Albertine Foundation created with the Cultural Services of the French Embassy two music programs, encouraging collaborations between French and American artists and ensembles, in the field of jazz and contemporary music. Over the past twenty years, $4 million were granted in funds to support over 300 projects in jazz and contemporary music, resulting in 65 recordings and more than 700 concerts, commissions and residencies in France and in the United States.
Financial support is given through:
— Creative Grants for new creations & new commissions.— Touring Grants for tours of French artists and ensembles in the United States.
Jazz & New Music CREATIVE GRANTS support projects jointly conceived by French and American professional musicians and institutions that encourage artistic exploration, foster intercultural dialogue, and contribute to the dynamism of the musical aesthetics it defends. It also supports new commissions to French composers, especially in the field of new music. MORE
