Deadline: June 10, 2024
The 2024 Fromm Commission Application is now open. The deadline for submission is June 10, 2024 and results will be announced in December 2024.
Overview:
Each year, the Fromm Music Foundation accepts applications for commissions of new music, and awards commissions to fourteen American composers. The Fromm Music Foundation commissions represent one of the ways that the Foundation strives to support the creation of new musical works and bring contemporary concert music closer to the public. The Fromm commission is available for all types of compositions regardless of idiom, instrumentation, style, or the use of technology. Submissions in jazz, hybrid, electronic, or other idioms are welcome.
Please note: if you previously received a Fromm Commission, there is a fifteen-year waiting period (from the time it was awarded) before you can apply again. The commission is to create a new work and cannot be applied to projects that have been awarded other commissions or previously composed.
The Fromm Music Foundation does not accept joint commissions or applications for composers from organizations. Individual composers must apply directly.
