First launched in 2019, the Amphion Foundation’s Elliott Carter Special Grant Program is open for applications for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic. The program, which will now accept applications on an ongoing basis with two annual review periods, provides support for special projects involving the music of Elliott Carter. Eligible organizations include professional performing ensembles, presenting organizations, and other non-profit organizations with plans to carry out a substantial project involving Carter’s music.

The deadline for the first review period in 2023 will be April 11, 2023 at 11:59 pm ET. Visit the Amphion Foundation’s website at the link below for the full guidelines and more information.

The Amphion Foundation was established by Elliott and Helen Carter to encourage the performance of contemporary concert music, particularly by American composers, through support to performing and presenting organizations that have demonstrated sustained artistic excellence, in addition to service organizations. The Foundation’s mission is carried out through its grant program, which has grown since its inception to encompass two rounds: a Spring round for performing ensembles and a Fall round for music service organizations, presenters, and festivals.
